What You Need Before Starting
Gather the following before opening the form: legal names and addresses of both assignor (producer) and assignee, Social Security numbers or Employer Identification Numbers (EIN) for both parties, the USDA program name (ARC, PLC, CRP, LDP, or other applicable program), the payment amounts and applicable years for each program, and your county FSA office name and telephone number. Having this information ready reduces the average completion time to about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Once the editor opens, you can fill in text fields, insert your signature, add graphics, and make other edits. Beyond filling in blank fields, the tool supports adding custom text, editing existing content, and attaching additional documentation.
When filling out the assignment of payment form, pay close attention to the following sections:
1. Complete the producer (assignor) information section carefully. Fill in all required fields, including legal name, address, and tax identification number:
2. After completing the assignor section, fill in the program-specific payment information: eLoan Deficiency Web Payment (eLDP), Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance (NAP), and other applicable programs, along with the YEAR and AMOUNT for each program year.
3. This section covers the COUNTY FSA COMMITTEE, ASSIGNEE, and PRODUCER fields. Fill in each blank with accurate legal information for both parties.
Pay particular attention to the PRODUCER and ASSIGNEE fields, as these establish the legal basis of the payment transfer. Errors in this section can delay processing at the FSA office.
4. Complete Part D (Revocation of Assignment) and the Special Provisions section, which covers the title and relationship of the assignee, the effective date, and the conditions under which payments will be honored. Read each legal provision carefully before signing, as they define the limits of the assignment and the assignee's rights.
5. To finish the form, fill in the COUNTY FSA OFFICE NAME and telephone number, including the area code. Once you complete and sign this section, the USDA will process the assignment of payment and notify both parties.
