Let Rolka Loube Saltzer Associates help you make sense of confusing regulatory programs such as Local Switching Support (LSS), Interstate Common Line Support (ICLS), High Cost Model (HCM), Long Term Support (LTS) and Interstate Access Support (IAS). We can find the USF errors and get you the support you are entitled to.

Mistakes happen, and the more complex the program, the more likely mistakes are to occur, even in the extensively audited environment of federal government telecommunications universal service support programs.  On behalf of its clients, Rolka Loube Saltzer Associates has found errors as large as $1 million in just one quarter, and these are not isolated mistakes.  Errors occur - even monthly, for the same client.

Experience makes us uniquely qualified to help eligible telecommunications carriers determine if they are receiving the proper payments from these government programs.

We have helped our clients:

  • Trace which USF support dollars were received (or not), when and for which periods and locations;

  • Correctly file data with USAC;

  • Identify unsatisfied requirements that could be denying you support;

  • Compare payments with projections, and

  • Resolve issues with USAC.

Have your USF receipts met monthly and annual expectations?  The Federal Communications Commission is encouraging states to follow its eligibility rules which now require applicants for ETC status to submit 'five-year plans' that describe, with specificity, proposed improvements or upgrades to the ETC applicant's network on a wire center-by-wire-center basis throughout its designated service area and then file progress reports.  Rolka Loube Saltzer Associates are familiar with the details of every disaggregation plan filed with the federal universal service program administrator and can trace support at that level of detail.  We know the disaggregation zones and their names as well as the share plan support allocation ratios.
