Overview and provider figures are the entity’s total authorized disbursements (entity-wide, FCC Form 471 FRN Status). Per-recipient figures are a back-of-envelope estimate: each funding request line item’s post-discount cost divided equally among the line’s recipients. FY2010–2015 figures are from USAC legacy data (BEN level). FY2026 omitted (funding year in progress). Note: the last year or two in any disbursement series always looks artificially low (FY2025 invoices are still being paid), which is why figures dip at the end — that’s the real state of USAC’s data, not an error.
