FY2019 Funding Waves 19, 20, 21, and 22 Released!!!

Hello Everyone,

USAC has released the weekly Funding Wave for Funding Year 2019. Due to the holiday weekend USAC combined several weeks together. Congratulations to the following list of Idaho entities. The list below are those Idaho applicants who’s Funding Requests (FRN) are included in Funding Wave #19, 20, 21, & 22 for FY2019.

Funding Commitment Total for Idaho: $1,587,800.50 

To complete the Form 486, please follow the directions listed here:

Log into EPC to file the Form 486. The Form 486 is NOW available in EPC. As with FY2016 and later, no paper FCDL forms are being mailed for FY2019.

Steps to take and items to pay close attention to on the 486:   

• Go to your landing page
• Look for the “Form 486” listed in the upper right corner.
• Choose only the FRNs that are ready for filing.
• Modify the service start date(s) as appropriate. Typically, this is July 1, 2019.
• DO NOT put a Service Start Date prior to July 1, 2019 even if services started before.
• If services start after July 1, 2019 please put that start date.
• Choose the correct CIPA certification based on your situation. Be careful here to ONLY select the one that applies...not all three.
• Review your form carefully before you certify it.

A funding wave will be released each week until all funds are exhausted.

If you were NOT included in this wave or any previous wave, it only means your application hasn't yet been reviewed. Continue watching for an email for notification that your PIA questions are available in EPC. As soon as the questions are answered, you'll likely be in an upcoming funding wave. If there are concerns with your funding requests, send me an email and I can looking into it and see if I can get more information.
