USAC billed entity number 143885
Worked out from Burton Elementary School Dist's own USAC records, most urgent first.
No form confirming service started (Form 486) is on file for one approved request, and nothing has been paid. USAC pays nothing on a request until this form is approved, even though your vendor bills USAC directly. Until it is filed, the vendor is not paid and may bill you the full price. It is due 120 days after service starts or after the funding letter, whichever is later: October 29, 2026 for 2026 funding approved before July 1. If it is late, USAC sends a reminder letter, and filing within 15 days of that letter avoids a penalty. After that, the funding is cut by the days it was late.
$817,749 expired unused last cycle. This budget pays for Wi-Fi, switches, cabling and firewalls through June 2030, and at your discount E-rate would pay about $789,622 of it. To use it for funding year 2027, post a bid request (Form 470), wait 28 days, choose a vendor, and file your application in the 2027 window, expected January to March. The 2027 dates are not announced yet, so posting by early January is safest and late February is the practical limit.
E-Rate Keeper prepares each of these for you and tracks every date. Or turn on the free deadline alerts.
No consultant is named on your 2026 application, so your team files itself. In USAC's data, applicants who file alone left 46% of their equipment budget unspent last cycle, against 26% for those with help.
