"What is the Universal Service Fee?"

For years, people have been paying the mandatory USF on their cell phone bills. We are now implementing the Universal Service Fee for other types of invoices, bills, reminders, etc. The Universal Service Fee is a small fee that businesses may add to invoices, billing statements, reminders, receipts, and document processing to help cover the costs that businesses incur for recycling, processing, printing, sorting, mailing, ink cartridge recycling, toner cartridge recycling, etc.

"How will I know if I have been charged the U S F?":

For your convenience, you will find the fee clearly detailed on your billing statement, invoice, reminder, etc. as "USF" or "Universal Service Fee".
