Coronavirus and USDA Service Centers
USDA Service Centers in South Carolina will continue to be open for business by phone
appointment only and field work will continue with appropriate social distancing. While
our program delivery staff will continue to come into the office, they will be working
with our producers by phone, and using online tools whenever possible. All Service
Center visitors wishing to conduct business with FSA are required to call their Service
Center to schedule a phone appointment. In the event a Service Center is not currently
available to serve customers on location, producers can receive assistance from the
closest alternate Service Center by phone. Learn more at farmers.gov/coronavirus.
