Getting Your Money!

Once the Form 486 is filed and a notification letter is received, the next steps to getting your district's money is as follows:

• Discuss with your service providers whether you would like discounts on your bills or to pay your bills in full and be reimbursed for discounts.
• Invoice USAC before the invoice deadline using the BEAR Form 472 for reimbursements after paying the bills in full OR invoice the service providers using the SPI Form 474 if you choose to receive discounts off of your bills.
• The invoice deadline is typically 120 days after the last date to receive services, ie..120 days from June 30 each year.
