A deficiency judgment is an unsecured money judgment against a borrower whose Mortgage law mortgage foreclosure sale did not produce sufficient funds to pay the underlying promissory note , or loan, in full. ref See also Ballentine s Law Dictionary, p. 133. ref The availability of a deficiency judgment depends on whether the lender has a recourse or nonrecourse loan , which is largely a matter of state law. In some jurisdictions, the original loan s obtained to purchase property is are non recourse, but subsequent refinancing of a first mortgage and or acquisition of a 2nd 3rd., etc. are recourse loans. In short, many jurisdictions hold that the loans obtained at the acquisition of a property purchase money are non recourse, and most if not all subsequent loans are. States that follow the title trust deed theory of mortgages typically allow non judicial foreclosure procedures, which are fast, but do not allow deficiency judgments. States that follow the lien theory of mortgages require judiciary foreclosure procedures, but allow deficiency judgments against the debtor. It is important to note that there is a difference between a deficiency and a deficiency judgement. A deficiency is the difference between the amount owed on a loan and the total amount received collected at the closing of a loan. A deficiency judgment is a court judgment that is a public record of the amount owed and by whom.

In the United States, deficiency payments are direct government payments made to farmers who participated in annual commodity programs for wheat, feed grains, rice, or cotton, prior to 1996. The crop specific deficiency payment rate was based on the difference between the legislatively set target price and the lower national average market price during a specified time. The total payment was equal to the payment rate, multiplied by a farm s eligible payment acreage and the program payment yield established for the particular farm. In the latter years of the program, farmers could receive up to one half of their projected deficiency payments at program signup. If actual deficiency payments, which were determined after the crop year, were less than advance deficiency payments, the farmer was required to reimburse the government for the difference, except for zero, 50 85 92 payments. The 1996 farm bill P.L. 107 171 eliminated deficiency payments and replaced them with production flexibility contract payments . The 2002 farm bill P.L. 101 171, Sec. 1104 reinstituted deficiency payments as counter cyclical payments with somewhat different payment calculations.
