Year 2: Wave 9 E-rate Funding Commitments Listed
Message Posted September 3, 1999
Congratulations to the following schools and libraries that are receiving
E-rate Funding Commitment Letters for Wave 9. The actual letters will be
mailed on Monday and should be arriving next week. A more detailed
description of this list will be posted on the SLD web site.
Detailed descriptions of the previous 8 waves already are posted if you
would like to check on your exact percentage and/or specific funding
category.
Many applicants have called wondering why their funding commitment letters
say "as yet unfunded" instead of funded, not funded or denied. "As yet
unfunded" means that your application has been processed and approved, but
they are waiting to see if they have enough money to fund it. You will
receive a follow-up letter toward the end of the waves indicating whether it
was funded or not funded.
* There will probably be at least 14 waves, so if you haven't been listed
in any of the first 9 waves, don't panic. You should have received by now
your Receipt Acknowledgement Letter for your Year 2 applications. If you
haven't received them yet, call 888-203-8100 to check the status of your
application. You will recall that the RAL letter is not a funding letter,
it just tells the applicant that the SLD has received your application and
it has been entered into their system. It also provides you with a listing
of what they have entered so you can double check that they have the correct
information.
* This wave represents funding for a mixture of services, including
internet access, telecom services, and internal connections. The applicants
receiving funds for internal connections are marked (*). The SLD has just
announced that they are now able to lower the funding threshold for internal connections applications to
65% . This threshold will may be lowered as the waves continue. Basically,
this means that if you have a discount of 65% or greater, and your
application is approved, you will receive funding for your internal
connections requests. As you will recall, in Year 1, only applicants with
discounts of 70% and above had internal connections funded.
* The next step is to file a Form 486 to indicate to the SLD that service
has begun. Please remember that all Year 2 funding recipients must use the
new 486. Year 1 funding recipients that are still
filing 486's may use the old 486, but are stronly encouraged to proceed
with using the new 486.
* After you have received your funding commitment letter, check with your
service provider and ask if your bills will be discounted in the next
billing cycle, if you should submit a BEAR form for reimbursement, or if you
and your service provider can work out discounts locally without being
reimbursed via a BEAR form. If you choose to submit a BEAR form, please
remember to mark "YES" in column i of the Form 486.

Providers also will be receiving a copy of the applicants' funding
commitment letters.
