| Producers should report crop acreage they 
				intended to plant, but due to a natural disaster, were prevented 
				from planting, to FSA on form CCC-576 Notice of Loss within 15 
				calendar days after (but not before) the final planting date for 
				that crop. 
 Due to the extraordinary weather events Illinois has experienced 
				in crop year 2019, Illinois FSA State Executive Director (SED), 
				William Graff, has approved an extension to all Counties in 
				Illinois, for producers without insurance or NAP coverage, to 
				file a prevented planting claim by the final acreage reporting 
				date of the crop.
 
 For crop year 2019, all producers without insurance or NAP 
				coverage, can file a prevented planted claim, no later than the 
				final acreage reporting date of the crop, and be considered 
				timely filed for FSA purposes.
 
 Producers with crop insurance, that timely filed a prevented 
				planted claim with their insurance company, will be considered 
				timely filed for FSA purposes, regardless of when the CCC-576, 
				Notice of Loss form is received. Data from RMA or proper 
				evidence provided by the producer that the prevented planted 
				claim was filed timely with the insurance company can be 
				accepted by FSA, to prove a timely filed prevented planting 
				claim to RMA.
