Obtain a Filer ID from USAC
A new company that does not have a Filer ID can enter its data using USAC's online system. Once the company completes the Annual Telecommunications Reporting Worksheet (Form 499-A) the company will need to print and mail an officer-signed form to be issued a Filer ID. Once USAC certifies the form using the signed copy, the contacts on the form will be issued a user ID and password for future use of the online system. To file a new form, go to USForm/499A-Form
USAC encourages fund contributors to take advantage of its online submission capabilities. Once you complete the first certification process by mailing a signed copy of the form, you will be able to certify future forms online without mailing a signed copy. In addition, you will be able to quickly revise your Form 499s by pulling up your historical forms, editing and submitting your changes, and certifying them online.
Please note that a signed copy will be required again if your company changes officers. Again, once USAC certifies the form using the signed copy, the new officer will be issued a user ID and password for future use of the online system.
If you have any questions about the online system, please refer to USAC's E-File User Guide or call USAC's Customer Service Center at 1-888-641-8722.
