Farm Service Agency (FSA) Credit Specialists

USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) credit specialists support critical federal loan programs but, like other federal employees, may face allegations related to their professional decisions. Loan reviews, approvals, and disbursements are subject to heightened oversight, and complaints from applicants, the public, or Congress can result in investigations, administrative actions, or legal challenges — placing increased professional liability exposure on even experienced specialists.

FEDS Protection professional liability insurance (PLI) provides peace of mind, responsive customer service, and legal defense. We're trusted by federal employees and endorsed by leading federal employee associations nationwide.

“The risks facing federal employees are too great and the out-of-pocket costs for legal representation too high for federal employees to fail to protect themselves with FEDS Protection.”

Christopher J. Keeven, Partner, Shaw Bransford & Roth P.C.

“I encourage all federal employees to protect themselves and invest in a professional liability policy. It is a small price to pay in exchange for the protection and security it can provide you.”

David Schertler, Managing Partner, Schertler & Onorato, LLP

“I’ve worked with troubled accounts, large loans, legal cases, and environmental assessments, and now supervise employees. I’ve maintained a long relationship with FEDS and value the peace of mind it brings. While I’ve never had to file a claim, their legal consultations have been invaluable, and I know FSA colleagues who found the service critical when they needed it. In today’s world, common sense alone won’t protect us — it’s reassuring to have an advocate I can trust. FEDS has always been responsive, and I wouldn’t come to work without them.”

John Gehrke | Past President, National Association of Credit Specialists (NACS)

Our policy covers FSA Credit Specialists for three areas of exposure: civil, administrative, and criminal

Wherever money is involved, scrutiny invariably follows. Because FSA Credit Specialists deal with loan applications, loan forgiveness, relief plans, and creditworthiness evaluations, the level of scrutiny from involved parties and agency leadership is high — especially if mistakes, even if unintentional, are made in the process of loan administration.

These matters may result in:

Administrative Investigations
OIG Investigations
HR Investigations
Disciplinary Proceedings
Congressional Investigations

If you are faced with these allegations and the resulting investigation, lawsuit, or even potential termination, will you be equipped with the tools you need to protect the career you’ve worked so hard to build?
