Collections: Commitment Adjustments (COMADS)
For Rural Health Care and Schools & Libraries Programs.
During reviews of funding commitments (audits, appeals, whistleblower calls, etc), USAC may discover that funds were committed in error.
If a COMAD is necessary, USAC will provide both the applicant and the service provider with a Commitment Adjustment Letter containing a Funding Commitment Report that lists the Funding Request Number (FRN), Form 471 Applicant Number, Billed Entity Number (BEN) and Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) affected by the COMAD.
For Service Provider/Applicant payments, a SPIN Payment Identification Worksheet is needed to ensure payment application. Payments should be sent to USAC using the Payment Instructions on our website.
For these payments, USAC needs:
- a copy of the Commitment Adjustment Letter, and
- the Funding Commitment Report from your Funding Commitment Decision Letter (FCDL)
