Almost all Farm Service Agency payments are made electronically using Direct Deposit.  This innovation has cut down on the number of missing and late payments and reduced the time required to move funds.  It has been calculated that having a problem with a payment is 20 times greater with paper checks than with Direct Deposit.  Another benefit is that Direct Deposit to your account can be made within 48 hours.  To keep the system running smoothly, it’s critical to keep the county office staff up to date on changes you might make in your financial institutions information.

If you have changed accounts or institutions that might affect the direct deposit of your FSA program benefits, contact the Mercer County FSA office so that updates may be made to our records and reduce the possibility of interruption of processing your benefit payment.
