USAC's mission is to collect universal service contributions from telecommunications carriers and distribute these funds across the four universal service programs: High Cost, Lifeline, Rural Health Care, and Schools and Libraries. USAC carries out this mission under the oversight of the FCC and has no role in setting or advocating universal service policy or law.

USAC can help journalists with questions about universal service in many different areas, including collection and disbursement of universal service funds, information available on our website, and other activities to do with administering universal service programs.

If you have a question about USAC's role as the USF administrator, contact us.
