7 CFR § 760.2215 - Payment limitation.
(a) For each program year, a person or legal entity, other than a joint venture or general partnership, is eligible to receive, directly or indirectly, SDRP payments of not more than:
(1) $125,000 for specialty and high value crops combined and $125,000 for other crops, if less than 75 percent of the person or legal entity's average adjusted gross income is average adjusted gross farm income; or
(2) $900,000 for specialty and high value crops combined and $250,000 for other crops, if not less than 75 percent of the average adjusted gross income of the person or legal entity is average adjusted gross farm income.
(b) To be eligible to receive payments based on the limitations in paragraph (a)(2) of this section, a producer must submit form FSA-510, including the certification from a certified public accountant or attorney that the person or legal entity has met the requirements to be eligible for the increased payment limitation, by the deadline announced by FSA. If a producer or member of a legal entity files FSA-510 and the accompanying certification after their SDRP payment is issued but before the deadline, FSA will recalculate the payment and issue the additional calculated amount.
(c) If a producer requesting the increased payment limitations in paragraph (a)(2) of this section is a legal entity, all members of that entity must also complete FSA-510 and provide the required certification according to the direct attribution provisions in 7 CFR 1400.105. If a legal entity would be eligible for the increased payment limitations based on the legal entity's average adjusted gross farm income but a member of that legal entity either does not complete an FSA-510 and provide the required certification or is not eligible for the increased payment limitations, the payment to the legal entity will be reduced for the limitations applicable to the share of the SDRP payment attributed to that member.
(d) [Reserved]
(e) The payment limitation provisions of 7 CFR part 1400, subpart A, and §§ 1400.103 through 1400.106 apply to SDRP.
(f) Payments made directly or indirectly to a person who is a minor child will not be combined with the earnings of the minor's parent or legal guardian.
(g) If an individual or legal entity is not eligible to receive SDRP payments due to the individual or legal entity failing to satisfy payment eligibility provisions, the payment made either directly or indirectly to the individual or legal entity will be reduced to zero. The amount of the reduction for the direct payment to the producer will be commensurate with the direct or indirect ownership interest of the ineligible individual or ineligible legal entity.
