Historically, USAC’s Schools and Libraries Division has hosted monthly service provider conference calls, providing information and guidance for vendors participating in the E-rate program. In an effort to maximize efficiency, the SLD has developed the conference call into a monthly webinar. Highlights from the March 4, 2015 service provider webinar include:
FY 2015 Application Reminders – February 26, 2015 was the last date for applicants to post a valid FY 2015 Form 470. The FY 2015 Form 471 deadline is 11:59 EDT on March 26, 2015
Invoicing Update – Payments for the month of February totaled $169.5 million against $206.2 million in requests. USAC processed invoices for 1,350 service providers, and 98% of the invoices were processed within 30 days.
Top invoice Denial Reasons:
- Total Commitment Paid
- Invoice Deadline Had Expired
