Form FSA‑325 Continues Unchanged
If you are an heir, beneficiary, or legal representative of a producer who died, disappeared, or was declared incompetent, you must use form FSA‑325 (Application for Payment of Amounts Due Persons Who Have Died, Disappeared, or Have Been Declared Incompetent) to claim payments. The Farm Service Agency is requesting an extension of the information collection without change; comments are due by June 15, 2026 and the form’s OMB expiration date is May 31, 2026.
Time Burden: 30 Minutes Per Claim
Filling out form FSA‑325 takes an estimated 0.5 hours (30 minutes) per response. The agency estimates 2,000 respondents and 2,000 total annual responses, for an estimated 1,000 total annual burden hours.
