MPCI

DESCRIPTION ID #

Annual Forage: With the changes made to the Coverages tab to support the 12 growing seasons in the 2024 RY (TFS 147409), the Select checkbox was removed to prevent users from canceling individual intervals because it would cause coverage to have too few index intervals/% distributions for a growing season. However, this change made it more difficult for users when canceling/transferring complete policies. It was requested that the select checkbox be added back to the Coverages tab to provide easier cancellation and transfer of whole policies.

Changes that were made:

With this ticket, for the 2024 RY and succeeding reinsurance years, the Select button was added back to the coverages tab at the parent line level, and if a user selected to cancel at the parent line level, the cancel status was pushed to all index intervals on the parent.

This was a base change for all AIPs for Annual Forage (standalone) policies in the 2024+ RY.

NOTE: Reinstating a canceled coverage was still not allowed from this screen as the System did not know which intervals to reinstate and what percents of value to assign. Reinstating must have been done from the Maintain Coverage screen (accessed via County hyperlink).
