ACT NOW allows NRCS to immediately approve and obligate a ranked application in a designated ranking pool when an eligible application meets or exceeds a State-established minimum ranking score without waiting for all applications to be ranked and pre-approved in that ranking pool.

Applications selected through ACT NOW will be batched and processed in the order received. Applications eligible for the identified ACT NOW ranking pools will be accepted on a continuous sign-up basis through July 31, 2023, at which time the ACT NOW sign-up period will close. These eligible applications will be pre-approved as funds are available.
