The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) passed a resolution requesting that state commissions, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) work collaboratively with other agencies that work with eligible participants for Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program to promote awareness. The resolution also urges the FCC and USAC to establish agreements with federal and state departments of agriculture and the health and human services, and other federal and state agencies implementing programs that establish consumers’ eligibility for Lifeline and ACP.
