My organization has many Billed Entity Numbers. Which one should I use?
You should use the Billed Entity Number (or BEN) that has been assigned as the main or primary Billed Entity Number for your organization. In the case of many school districts, this is the BEN that is associated with the name of the school district.
If you are unsure about which BEN to use, contact E-rate Manager Business Operations (acct@fundsforlearning.com) for assistance.
What if I want to manage multiple Billed Entities under one account?
If you manage E-rate applications and funding for multiple Billed Entities, you can have access to all of your Billed Entities under one E-rate Manager Account (subscription fee is based on entity size, plus additional fees for unified login access and extra users). Just continue the registration process with your primary Billed entity, then contact E-rate Manager Business Operations (acct@fundsforlearning.com) and we can help you with adding additional Billed Entities.
