Possible Changes to Universal Service Fund
I am writing to inform you of a significant ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The court declared that the Universal Service Contribution (USF) mechanism violates the Legislative Vesting Clause of the U.S. Constitution. This decision has serious implications for programs many of our members rely on, including the Healthcare Connect Fund (HCF) and the E-rate program.
