  §  54.1610   Expiration of Emergency Broadband Benefit Program.

   (a) Prior to the conclusion of the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program,
   the Administrator will notify participating providers of the projected
   final service month for which participating providers will be eligible
   to receive reimbursement for valid reimbursement claims submitted
   pursuant to 47 CFR 54.1608. In that final month when valid
   reimbursement claims exceed remaining funds, the amount disbursed for
   both service and connected device claims to participating providers
   will be reduced on a pro-rata basis but will be no less than 50% of the
   total support amount for timely filed claims for service and connected
   devices provided to households.

   (b) Concurrent with release of the notice by the Administrator pursuant
   to paragraph (a) of this section, no new households shall be enrolled
   in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program.

   (c) No later than 15 days after the Administrator provides notice
   pursuant to paragraph (a) of this section, participating providers
   shall give notice to subscribers receiving the Emergency Broadband
   Benefit of the last date or service month that the full benefit will
   apply to the household's bill, the last date or service month that the
   partial, final-month benefit will apply to their bill, and the expected
   rate of the broadband service once the benefit expires.

   (d) At least 30 days before the end of the Emergency Broadband Benefit
   Program, as indicated in the notice sent by the Administrator pursuant
   to paragraph (a) of this section, participating providers must notify
   households about the upcoming end to the Emergency Broadband Benefit
   Program and clearly state that the household will be subject to the
   participating provider's generally applicable terms and conditions at
   the conclusion of the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program if the
   household elects to continue receiving broadband service from the
   participating provider.
