Short Statement: On August 29, 2007, the Commission released the 2007 Comprehensive Review of the Universal Service Fund Management, Administration and Oversight, WC Docket Nos. 05-195, 02-60, 03-109 and CC Docket Nos. 96-45, 02-6, 97-21, FCC 07-150 (Comprehensive Review Order). In the Comprehensive Review Order, the Commission took several steps to further safeguard the Universal Service Fund from waste, fraud, and abuse, including imposing document retention rules on all universal service programs and program contributors. One rule change requires service providers to retain records verifying the eligibility of a recipient for the program for as long as it provides Lifeline service to that customer, even after being audited.
