Commissioner makes stunning announcement of how program is losing nearly half a billion dollars annually to fraud!
In a letter Wednesday, top Republican Ajit Pai of the Federal Communications Commission expressed concern about the JCC’s Universal Service Fund, a program that provides a $9.95 monthly subsidy for telecom service to low-income people. The program’s website states, “More than 20 million Americans have already received a free Obama Phone and get 250 free cell phone minutes every month.”
The program is supposed to be limited to one phone “per independent economic household.” However, that restriction can be overridden if applicants simply check a box stating that they represent a “different household”, even if they have the same address.
