Complete FY2018 BEARs and FY2019 Form 486!

Happy Fall, Everyone. Before we get into the "crazy-town" of the form filing for Funding Year 2020, I want to remind everyone on a couple of upcoming deadlines. 

***Funding Year 2018: 

Don’t Forget to File FY 2018 BEARs:  FY 2018 officially ended June 30, 2019 for recurring services (mostly Category 1 and Basic Maintenance), and therefore applicants have until October 28, 2019 (120-days after June 30) to file BEARs for FRNs where their vendors did not provide discounted bills (in those cases, vendors file SPIs to seek reimbursements).  For non-recurring services/equipment (mostly Category 2 internal connections), applicants have until September 30, 2019 to purchase and install this equipment, and the deadline to file those BEARs will be January 28, 2020 (120 days after September 30).
  
***Funding Year 2019: 

Status of FY 2019 Funding Requests:  About 95% of all Idaho FY2019 funding requests have been decided, which is great news. Please keep checking on your FRNs if they are still pending. There are only 30 remaining.

Don’t forget to file FY 2019 Form 486s – The Form 486 tells USAC that you are CIPA compliant and services have started, and is due no later than 120 days from the FCDL date or July 1, whichever is later. The Form 486 deadline for applicants funded in waves 1 – 10 have a Form 486 deadline of October 28, 2019
 
If you have any questions about FY2018 and/or FY2019 remaining items, please don’t hesitate to contact me!  Buckle-Up, FY2020 – Here we come!

Thank you, 
Todd
