What is USAC and What Do They Do?

USAC is a not-for-profit corporation conceived by the FCC itself in 1998 to collect and distribute funds, collected from telecommunications companies, to areas of the United States that require the support to stay connected via telecommunication systems and communication networks.

USAC allocates these funds through four targeted programs designed to support specific situations, including low-income areas, rural regions, and any locations deemed high-cost for implementing telecommunication systems. These four USAC programs are specifically called:

E-Rate
Rural Health Care
Lifeline
High Cost

USAC Appeals

The USAC appeals process is a way to address and sort out disputes regarding USF funding. If organizations aren’t happy with USAC’s decisions—like funding denials, recovery demands, or compliance issues—they can file an appeal to get things sorted. The process is detailed and requires a good grasp of the regulatory framework and the specific situation at hand.

Telecommunications Law Professionals have the knowledge and experience to navigate this complex field. We are familiar with the rules and regulations surrounding USAC, especially those set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which manages the USF.
