Both the producer and joint payee understand and agree that if the producer files a Form CCC-36, Assignment of Payment, with CCC or FSA, for any program covered by this joint payment authorization, regardless of the date the assignment was filed, the assignment takes precedence and will be honored by CCC and FSA as though the assignment was filed prior to the joint payment authorization.

This authorization may be revoked at any time by the joint payee by completing Part D of this form or by submitting a written request signed by the joint payee to the local FSA Office making the payment.
