SUBJECT:  Group Risk Plan (GRP) Actuarial Documents for 1995


Actuarial materials for the 1995 crop year GRP barley, corn, cotton, grain 
sorghum, and soybeans will remain unchanged from 1994.  The only modification 
will be a change in the subsidy amounts as mandated by the Federal Crop 
Insurance Reform Act of 1994.  New actuarial document books for these crops, 
and for the previously filed 1995 wheat and forage, are being refiled 
immediately showing these new subsidy amounts.  The actuarial data master is 
available on Supertracs and replaces previous data sets.  

New educational software has already been distributed.   This software was 
developed in cooperation with the University of Kentucky for educational and 
demonstration purposes.  It is not a replacement for Federal Crop Insurance 
Corporation approved and issued actuarial material.  There should be no 
differences between the GRP educational software and the official actuarial 
material;  however, if differences are found, the actuarial material will be
considered correct.

Questions on the 1995 GRP actuarial materials should be directed to Research 
and Evaluation Branch at (816) 926-6343.
