Universal Service Fees are mandated by the Federal Government and assessed under rules developed by the FCC to support universal service for schools, libraries, and rural health care facilities. It is calculated as a percentage of your total monthly long distance charges.

You can also visit https://bit.ly/3gEa0LB for more information regarding the Universal Service fund.
