An unofficial listing of Eligible and Ineligible Charges and Fees

Zeller and Associates, LLC compiled this list of the various charges and fees that it found on telecommunication bills. It includes a determination of eligibility versus ineligibility based on experience and interpretation. This may be helpful when determining reimbursement requests for Funding Year (7/1/2014 – 6/30/2015). The Funding Year 2014 Eligible Services List is the official arbiter. Please see link below.
