Release Notes 9.085.0

Livestock: It was found that the Livestock Special Provisions were printing based on Entity State instead of Policy State. With this ticket, for all years, the Livestock Special Provisions functionality has been updated to print based on the Policy State of the policy instead of the Entity State.

LGM: A request was received to add Entity State and County to the Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) Applications—Cattle, Dairy Cattle and Swine. The following updates were made to the LGM Applications for all years:

LRP SCE: With this ticket, the updated 2021 LRP SCE Provisions for Fed Cattle, Feeder Cattle, and Swine have been implemented in the System. These changes are applicable for the 2021+ Crop Years. Provisions print with the Livestock Schedule of Insurance (SOI) when the print option to print provisions with the form is selected. The Livestock SOI is available to print from the Livestock policy Print tab.

LRP: With this ticket, the updated 2021 LRP Policy Provisions have been implemented in the System. These changes are applicable for the 2021+ Crop Years. Provisions print with the Livestock Schedule of Insurance (SOI) when the print option to print provisions with the form is selected. The Livestock SOI is available to print from the Livestock policy Print tab.

SOI: A request was received to add a HIP Summary line that is a sum of all of the HIP line data under the Schedule of Insurance (SOI) Premium Summary section; this will help the Insured to see what the Total Liability is in the event there is a loss. This change applies to all Crop Years.

Now, when there is a HIP line(s) in the Premium Summary, the System will print a HIP Summary line after the Premium Summary section. This will only display when there is a HIP line in the Premium Summary section. The HIP Summary is a sum of the HIP data from the HIP line(s) from the Premium Summary section - Liability, Gross Premium, Subsidy Amount, Insured's Premium, and Total Due. Acres will be blank in the HIP Summary line. A & O and Admin Fee will have "###".

PAW: The Florida (FL) Fruit Tree Producer's Pre-Acceptance Worksheet (PAW) form has been updated in the following ways for all years:

A new mapping layer for September 2020 was released by the RMA and has been implemented in the System.

PHTS: A gap was identified in the PHTS import process while testing and has been corrected under the scope of this ticket. PHTS files contain a tyield map area as part of the APH records, but the map area was not importing into the System when the PHTS process created the detail line and APH. This was a long-standing gap in the import logic and not a bug that was just identified. An enhancement was implemented to pull in the tyield map area, when applicable, and when included in the PHTS file.

HIP: An issue was found during internal testing of TFS #114667. HIP is not allowed on Margin Protection (MP Plans 16 & 17), but it can be allowed on the related coverage under a different plan. In the situation where there was a combination of an MP coverage and a related non-MP coverage, the System was returning coverage validation errors during save as well as Mark Complete validation errors and suspending coverages due to not all coverages for that commodity having the HIP crop option even though the coverages receiving the warnings and suspensions were not eligible for HIP due to the excluded Margin Protection Plans. With this ticket, the coverage warning message logic and Mark Complete validation logic that checks to make sure that all coverages for the commodity have the HIP crop option were updated to exclude any coverages with MP.

Perennials: An issue was found internally while testing TFS #114664. While testing Coffee Trees (Plan 40), if the CV and OX crop options were both elected, the System triggered the popup warning, "A Crop Option Type must be selected when the CV or OX option is applied to the coverage." However, no selection box was available for user to select a crop type to clear the popup, as this warning message (per TFS #8575) was only to be required for FL Citrus Trees.

In addition, an AIP reported that they were unable to process a 2021 RY policy change on a Plan 40 Tree coverage. The grower had elected CV + OLO, so the selection of CV + OX was made in the crop options box. At save, the System triggered a hard edit stating that OW was required when OX was selected. If OW was then selected with CV and OX, the System returned an additional hard edit that said OX and OW cannot have CV selected, resulting in a continuous error cycle that could not be cleared. Users should be able to elect CV + OX as long as both options are available in the ADMs.

With this ticket, a System fix was implemented to update the validations for Plan 40 crops to resolve these issues.

Perennials: There were a couple of discrepancies in the APH calculation results section between the Maintain APH page and the View APH page for Pecans (0020) Plan 41 that needed to be corrected with this ticket. The first issue was that the Avg Revenue and Rate Revenue fields that display on the Maintain APH page were not displayed on the View APH page. The second issue was that the Total Annual Gross Sales field on the Maintain APH page was titled Avg Gross Sales on the View APH page (NOTE: the values for these fields were correct, only the field names weren't consistent).

With this ticket, the View APH page has been updated to now include the Avg Revenue and Rate Revenue fields in the APH calculation results section of the APH page (the area directly below the 10 year history grid). The Avg Gross Sales field on the View APH page has also been updated to read Total Annual Gross Sales. The value in the existing field was ok; only a title change was needed.

Perennials: This ticket was created because it was determined that the FL Fruit Trees (including Avocado Trees), TX Citrus Trees, and Mac Trees PAW page did not contain the necessary Underwriting Questions that should have displayed (TFS #114543 was the forms ticket that added the UW Questions to the PAW form). With this ticket, the System was updated for the 2021+ RYs to add the Standard Crop Insurance Handbook PAW questions to the PAW page for FL Fruit Trees (including Avocado Trees), TX Citrus Trees, and Mac Trees.
