Common use of Expected Results - Cost-Benefit Analysis Clause in Contracts

Expected Results - Cost-Benefit Analysis. USAC anticipates that computer matching will verify the eligibility of FCB program subscribers and help prevent ineligible individuals from entering FCB programs. This Agreement and related processes will also reduce administrative costs for processing and provide increased protection for consumer personal information. The Lifeline specific costs and benefits are as follows: NEW NATIONAL VERIFIER APPLICATIONS North Carolina consumers submit an average of 51,339 Lifeline applications per month, according to National Verifier application data for a recent 3-month period in 2022. Based on 2020 American Community Survey (ACS) data that USAC uses to estimate the number of households eligible for the Lifeline benefit, USAC expects as many as 45% of households eligible for Lifeline in North Carolina to automatically prove eligibility via National Verifier connections with the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) databases. Based on 2020 ACS data, USAC expects an additional 16% of households eligible for Lifeline in North Carolina whose eligibility cannot be confirmed through the available federal databases to be able to automatically prove eligibility via a connection to the state’s SNAP database due to their participation in SNAP. Thus, on a monthly basis, approximately 8,247 (16% of 51,339) North Carolina consumers may be able to automatically prove eligibility via the state SNAP database and would not be required to submit paper documentation for National Verifier manual review. At the cost of $3 per application, the manual review process results in a monthly cost of $24,740 and an annual cost of $296,879 to the Lifeline program. There are no incremental costs for automated database checks. The connection to North Carolina’s SNAP database would thus enable the National Verifier to avoid an estimated $339,919 in annual costs to the Lifeline program as a result of automated eligibility verification for new applications that would otherwise require manual review. There will be additional cost savings from avoiding manual reviews for the ACP and any future FCB programs, although it is uncertain at this time exactly how many eligibility checks will be conducted for those programs. RECERTIFICATION NATIONAL VERIFIER APPLICATIONS Approximately 89,314 North Carolina subscribers undergo the eligibility recertification process on an annual basis, according to recent 2022 National Lifeline Accountability Database (NLAD) data. Based on 2020 ACS data that USAC uses to estimate the number of households eligible for the Lifeline benefit, USAC expects as many as 45% of households eligible for Lifeline in North Carolina to automatically prove eligibility via National Verifier connections with the federal CMS and HUD databases. Based on 2020 ACS data, USAC expects an additional 16% of households eligible for Lifeline in North Carolina whose eligibility cannot be confirmed through the available federal databases to be able to automatically prove eligibility via a connection to the state’s SNAP database due to their participation in SNAP. Thus, on an annual basis, approximately 14,347 (16% of 89,314) North Carolina subscribers may be able to automatically prove eligibility at recertification via the state SNAP connection and would not be required to submit paper documentation for National Verifier manual review or self-certification. At the cost of $3 per application, manual review of recertification applications results in an annual cost of $43,040 to the Lifeline program. There are no incremental costs for automated database checks. The connection to North Carolina’s SNAP database would thus enable the National Verifier to avoid an estimated $339,919 in annual costs to the Lifeline program as a result of automated eligibility verification for recertification applications that would otherwise require manual review. In total, the connection to North Carolina’s SNAP database would enable the National Verifier to avoid an estimated $339,919 in annual costs to the Lifeline program based on electronic eligibility determinations for both new applications and required recertifications. There will be additional cost savings from avoiding manual reviews for the ACP and any future FCB programs, although it is uncertain at this time exactly how many eligibility checks will be conducted for those programs.

Based on 2020 2019 ACS data, USAC expects an additional 1612% of households eligible for Lifeline in North Carolina Iowa whose eligibility cannot be confirmed through the available federal databases to be able to automatically prove eligibility via a connection to the state’s SNAP database due to their participation in SNAP. Thus, on an annual basis, approximately 14,347 4,228 (1612% of 89,31435,232) North Carolina Iowa subscribers may be able to automatically prove eligibility at recertification via the state SNAP connection and would not be required to submit paper documentation for National Verifier manual review or self-self- certification. At the cost of $3 per application, manual review of recertification applications results in an annual cost of $43,040 12,684 to the Lifeline program. There are no incremental costs for automated database checks. The connection to North CarolinaIowa’s SNAP database would thus enable the National Verifier to avoid an estimated $339,919 12,684 in annual costs to the Lifeline program as a result of automated eligibility verification for recertification applications that would otherwise require manual review. In total, the connection to North CarolinaIowa’s SNAP database would enable the National Verifier to avoid an estimated $339,919 32,158 in annual costs to the Lifeline program based on electronic eligibility determinations for both new applications and required recertifications. There will be additional cost savings from avoiding manual reviews for the ACP EBBP and any future FCB FTB programs, although it is uncertain at this time exactly how many eligibility checks will be conducted for those programs.
