Livestock

DESCRIPTION ID #

BFR/VFR Selection was updated on Grower Tab of a Policy to Apply to All Policies (MPCI & Livestock) for the Grower OID & RY.

Changes that were made:

An enhancement request was received to update the BFR/VFR selection made on the Grower tab for a policy to update the BFR/VFR selection on all policies (MPCI & Livestock) for the same Grower OID and RY. BFR/VFR must have been elected/updated on each policy individually for a single grower for each RY.

For 2026+ RYs only, with this ticket, save functionality of the Maintain Grower page (when opened by clicking the Edit button on the View Grower for Policy page/Grower tab of a policy) was updated to apply any changes made to fields (BfrChecked, BfrCertificationDate, BfrYearsofEligibility, BfrAipApprovalDate, ApplicationType;

NOTE: For 2026+ RYs, the BfrBenefitsReceivedYearCount field value comes from RMA in an output field from the P14, so this field was still tied to each specific policy) in the Beginning & Veteran Farmer Rancher Information section to all MPCI and Livestock policies for that grower OID for the RY of the policy the page was accessed from. If the BFR/VFR checkbox was previously selected prior to the page being loaded and was deselected at the time of save, any BFR/VFR field values were removed from all MPCI and Livestock policies for the grower OID for that RY. The user was not alerted that this was being saved to all policies.

BFR/VFR elections impacted the subsidy calculated for MPCI and Livestock policies when premium was calced.

For MPCI policies, when applicable, eligible premium lines and coverages for all affected policies were recalculated on the service bus and a mark completed was performed to have premium recalced upon save of the Maintain Grower page called out above.

For Livestock policies, premium lines/coverages were not recalculated or marked complete due to the time-sensitive nature of Livestock; these needed to be manually marked complete as needed.

Note that for 2026+ RYs, for BFR only, if a BfrBenefitsReceivedYearCount value was not yet returned on a P14 record for the policy at the time BFR election was made on a policy and a certification date existed, the correct subsidy may not have calculated due to the additional subsidy % amounts now available for the first 4 years of benefits received.

All validations currently in place for BFR/VFR, including those pertaining to a detail line's or coverage's eligibility to receive the benefits based on BFR/VFR certification dates, remained in place and did not changed with this ticket.
