Step 7: Invoice Adjustment
USAC has implemented a policy of billing companies that receive Low Income support (Lifeline, Link Up and Toll Limitation Service) and have a negative disbursement amount for any given month. Previously, USAC would hold negative disbursements until the support in subsequent months netted the negative amount to a positive amount. Negative disbursement amounts can occur when USAC conducts a true-up between a company's projected support amount and the actual support claimed, or when a company revises its previous support claims. Companies that have negative disbursements will receive an invoice from USAC. Please note that these invoices are subject to the Red Light Rule and, thus, failure to pay on time could affect a company's support payments from any of the other USAC-administered support mechanisms.
