Section 26-4-6-4 - Percentage of compensation; partial payments(a) A claimant who has incurred a storage loss due to the failure of a warehouse operator licensed under IC 26-3-7 is entitled to be compensated by the board from the fund for one hundred percent (100%) of the storage loss incurred less all credits and offsets and any producer premium that would have been due on the sale of the grain. The gross amount of the storage loss shall be as determined by the agency for warehouses licensed under IC 26-3-7 or by the United States Department of Agriculture for warehouses licensed under the United States Warehouse Act. The warehouse operator and claimants may submit to the agency evidence related to outstanding charges against stored grain. If the evidence is submitted, the agency shall determine the storage loss payable by the board.(b) A claimant who has incurred a financial loss due to the failure of a grain buyer is entitled to be compensated by the board from the fund for eighty percent (80%) of the loss incurred less all credits and offsets and any producer premium that should have been due on the sale of the grain. The agency shall determine the loss incurred in the following manner:(1) For grain that has been priced, the loss shall be the value of the priced grain less any outstanding charges against the grain.(2) For grain sold to a grain buyer who is also a warehouse operator and that has not been priced, the loss shall be established using the price determined for the storage obligations.(3) For grain sold to a grain buyer who is not a warehouse operator and that has not been priced, the loss shall be established using a price determined by the agency using the same procedures used by the agency to determine the price at the warehouse.(c) If a producer appeals under IC 4-21.5-3 an order issued by the director under IC 26-3-7-16.5 that postpones the agency from notifying the board of the amount of loss for proven claimants under IC 26-3-7-16.5(n), the board may issue partial payments to any claimants who have not appealed their claims.Amended by P.L. 145-2017,SEC. 21, eff. 4/24/2017.As added by P.L. 250-1995, SEC.1.
