The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) operates in the telecommunications sector with a purpose of advancing universal service by administering programs that fund connectivity nationwide. Under FCC guidance, USAC distributes funding through four programs—E-rate for Schools and Libraries, Rural Health Care, Lifeline, and High Cost—serving rural, underserved, and hard-to-reach communities. These programs are intended to support schools, libraries, health care providers, and households in gaining access to affordable high-speed connectivity. Headquartered in Washington, DC, USAC emphasizes integrity, quality, accountability, and innovation within a collaborative, open culture. A notable recent development is the June 2025 release of an updated guide on Service Substitutions for the E-rate Program, reflecting ongoing program clarification and guidance.
