§ 54.679 Election to offset support against annual universal service fund
contribution.
(a) A service provider that contributes to the universal service
support mechanisms under subpart H of this part and also provides
services eligible for support under this subpart to eligible health
care providers may, at the election of the contributor:
(1) Treat the amount eligible for support under this subpart as an
offset against the contributor's universal service support obligation
for the year in which the costs for providing eligible services were
incurred; or
(2) Receive direct reimbursement from the Administrator for that
amount.
(b) Service providers that are contributors shall elect in January of
each year the method by which they will be reimbursed and shall remain
subject to that method for the duration of the calendar year. Any
support amount that is owed a service provider that fails to remit its
monthly universal service contribution obligation, however, shall first
be applied as an offset to that contributor's contribution obligation.
Such a service provider shall remain subject to the offsetting method
for the remainder of the calendar year in which it failed to remit its
monthly universal service obligation. A service provider that continues
to be in arrears on its universal service contribution obligations at
the end of a calendar year shall remain subject to the offsetting
method for the next calendar year.
(c) If a service provider providing services eligible for support under
this subpart elects to treat that support amount as an offset against
its universal service contribution obligation and the total amount of
support owed exceeds its universal service obligation, calculated on an
annual basis, the service provider shall receive a direct reimbursement
in the amount of the difference. Any such reimbursement due a service
provider shall be provided by the Administrator no later than the end
of the first quarter of the calendar year following the year in which
the costs were incurred and the offset against the contributor's
universal service obligation was applied.
