You can receive up to 50% of your AgriStability payment early to help with cash flow. Advance (Interim) payments are only available in the current program year. You must be enrolled in AgriStability and have paid your program fees to qualify for an early payment.
Advance (Interim) payments provide:
- The opportunity to receive funds before the end of your fiscal period and program year
- Quick access to funds that support losses and cover costs (early payment requests are processed within 30 days of receiving them)

Important Note
You do not have to submit a Notice of Loss or Interim to receive a payment:
- Your final benefit will automatically be calculated upon receiving your Statement A form information at the end of your production cycle
- If your profits are down 30% from recent years, a cheque will be sent to you after your Statement A is verified.
