FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program USAC Service Provider Election Process Now Open

Beginning March 11, 2021, broadband service providers can submit election notices to Universal Service Administrative Company to participate in the Federal Communications Commission’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. To submit an election notice, service providers must complete the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program Election Form and submit it, along with all required documentation, to USAC using the EBBElection@usac.org email box. Service providers who are not eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) must apply for and receive FCC approval to participate in the EBB Program before submitting their election to USAC. To learn more about the process for service providers to participate in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, visit USAC’s website. USAC hosted a training that reviews the details of the FCC approval and USAC election processes – a recording of that training is available on USAC’s website.
