§ 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.
