Section 825IAC1-6-2. Proof of eligibility as a claimant

   (a) The board may require a produce [sic., producer] to provide proof that the producer paid, or attempted to pay, producer premiums prior to validating a claim by the producer. The board may, however, based on information provided to the board, determine that the failure of the producer to pay producer premiums was not the fault of the producer, thereby allowing the producer to be an eligible claimant.

  (b) When determining whether the failure of the producer to pay producer premiums was not the fault of the producer, the board shall consider:

(1) the previous record of payments by the producer;

(2) the records of the grain buyer as to collection of producer premiums; and

(3) other relevant evidence.
