For any 2017 WHIP payments for the 2017 or 2018 crop year combined, a person or legal entity, other than a joint venture or general partnership, is eligible to receive, directly or indirectly, 2017 WHIP payments of not more than:
$125,000, if less than 75 percent of the person or legal entity's average adjusted gross income is average adjusted gross farm income; or
$900,000, if not less than 75 percent of the average adjusted gross income of the person or legal entity is average adjusted gross farm income.
For 2017 WHIP eligibility, a person or legal entity's average adjusted gross income and average adjusted gross farm income are determined based on the 2013, 2014, and 2015 tax years.
To be eligible for more than $125,000 in 2017 WHIP payments, a person or legal entity must submit FSA-892 and provide a certification in the manner prescribed by FSA from a certified public accountant or attorney that at least 75 percent of the person or legal entity's average adjusted gross income was average adjusted gross farm income. Persons or legal entities who fail to provide FSA-892 and the required certification may not receive a 2017 WHIP payment, directly or indirectly, of more than $125,000.
The direct attribution provisions in part 1400 of this chapter apply to 2017 WHIP for both payment limitation as well as in determining average AGI as defined and used in this rule.
