(a) Payments under this subpart will be prorated based on the sum of all payments to eligible affected farmers and available funds.
(b) FSA will not disburse Milk Loss Program payments at the beginning of the application period. However, during the application period, FSA may evaluate program demand and begin issuing payments if an initial payment factor can be established to ensure that payments do not exceed available funding. After the application deadline, a final payment factor will be determined and applied, which may or may not provide an additional or final payment, depending upon the factor.
