It would be a lie to use a manufactured picture of the calf.
That's what you said to do.
I agree it won't be a lie to say he lost a calf.
Fsa idemity program...need advise!!

When you lie, you gotta have a good memory.

Here you go Cowboy, now technically this calf is just asleep, and the picture is from March 2019, and it's not a newborn, but aside from that if you present it with the proper disclaimers you should be fine.

Yes, send them that picture. If they're paying you because it's a predator, I'm pretty sure even a government employee will understand that predators kill things and then eat them.

I must have missed something. Why does the government owe the farmer for a frozen dead calf? Is that in the bill of rights or one of the amendments? Is it because the government is rich? Or because the government should have stopped this climate change and did not? Or because they plan to forgive student loans? Does the amount get deducted from our third covid stimulus check or is this extra? I had a tire blow out recently. Can I get reimbursement? Just want to understand all the stuff available to me.

I don't either but if they want to pay for I'll let them.
I buy road hazard protection when I buy new tires and it has paid to replace blown-out tires in the past.

If they want to and you let them that's fine... If you consider counterfeit info that's dishonest....if you do it it's criminal.....chew on it a bit.

Are you drunk???
The FSA has all kinds of different insurance available, crop, animal, drought, ect. I am not familiar with the animal insurance, but if you pay the premium you deserve to be paid on the claim. It is not a government handout anymore than your auto or health insurance is.

I agree if there are premiums that have been paid. The information the FSA has online for the FIP program has no mention of premiums, just benefits.
Hence my drunken post about road hazard tire insurance. Small cost but valuable to have.
Carry on.

I don't believe road hazard is government subsidized. Fsa programs are .
Insurance is insurance and if you qualify for it then use it. You are about to see a huge round of insurance claims and as a result future premiums are likely to rise.

I agree with that completely.
I just stated facts. It is a government subsidy, a handout . I'm not saying I won't be applying. But I'm not going to lie . And I'm not going to call it something that it's not. .... that's just me.

Information on the FSA LIP program. No mention of it being an insurance program with premiums - at least I do not see that in this document. Document has a table of benefit amounts. Covers cows, bison, chickens, pigs, goats, deer, etc. Pays $890 for a cow, $1157 for a bull. $163 to $951 for a non-adult beef animal depending on weight. An 800 pound calf pays more than a cow. Seems like a person with some thin marginal cattle would be encouraged to hope for an ice storm. I did not read it all. Like a lot of government stuff, it is wordy and not all based on common sense. Maybe someone who has used it can confirm there are pre-disaster premiums. I get discouraged with our many government programs.
