Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers |
Petition Period from August 16, 2004 through January 31, 2005
Welcome to the Foreign
Agricultural Service's Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers
homepage.
If you are a producer of a commodity, which has recently
suffered from low prices due to increasing imports, you may be eligible for
technical assistance and a financial payment under this program. First
check our petition registry; you
could already be eligible for benefits. If not, you must form a group
(minimum of 3 producers) to file a petition requesting eligibility for yourself,
as well as for your neighbors who produce the same commodity in your state
or region. If your petition is certified, you may apply immediately to the
Farm Service Agency for trade adjustment assistance benefits.
Useful information regarding eligibility, filing petitions, applying for benefits, a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs), and a TAA fact sheet can be found on our site. For information and advice on filing petitions, you may contact the Trade Adjustment Assistance Office by phone at (202) 720-2916 or by email.
If you are already eligible for TAA, please contact your Farm Service Agency Administrative County Office.
You can use our online resources library for forms and TAA rules.
Information regarding office mailing address, hours of operation, and telephone numbers can be found at this link.
We look forward in assisting you with the preparation of your TAA petition or with other matters relating to Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers.
