Understanding Invoices

USAC invoices are generated monthly with a due date of the 15th. If the 15th is a weekend or holiday, then the payment due date is moved to the prior business day. The invoice includes information to help contributors understand how the invoice charges were generated. USAC issues a number of different types of invoices:

• Contributor Invoices begin with “UBDI”
• Negative Disbursement Invoices begin with “NGXX” (where XX represents the program)
• Payment Plan Invoices begin with “PMTP”

Payments towards USF invoices must be made in a timely manner to avoid delinquency actions such as late fees. In cases where a contributing company believes that it has been invoiced in error, please contact USAC’s Customer Operations at (888) 641-8722.

To request a copy of your invoice, email Customer Operations with the following information included in the body of the email:
