To receive funding for universal service discounts, every service provider must have a SPIN.
Service providers can initiate a SPIN assignment by contacting USAC toll-free at (888) 641-8722 Monday through Friday 8:30 AM through 5:00 PM ET. Requests for SPIN assignments may also be faxed to the USAC toll-free at (888) 637-6226.
To complete the SPIN assignment process, service providers will submit Form 498, the Service Provider Information Form, to provide/confirm appropriate contact information for various universal service functions and the correct location for receipt of the funds.
Form 498 will be mailed to the service provider by USAC on request, and also can be downloaded from the SLD Web Site in the Forms Section.
