You must still pay the nondisputed portion of your bill; failure to pay may result in your access to pay-per-call services being involuntarily blocked and/or collections activity against you. If the disputed amount has already been sent to collections, the collection activity will be suspended. This same company must investigate, within 90 days of your initial complaint, whether or not the disputed charges are valid. If there was a billing error, the billing company will let you know and will adjust the charges as appropriate. If the charges have been referred to collections, the collections activity will stop. If the billing company determines the charges were not billed in error, you will receive a written explanation detailing how that conclusion was reached, how much you owe, and the date by which you must pay it. Failure to pay could lead to collection activity. If you continue to dispute the charges, the billing company should not report you as delinquent without also reporting that you continue to dispute the charges.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM CENTURYLINK ABOUT YOUR PHONE SERVICE

Federal Universal Service Fund Changes – The Federal Universal Service Fund (USF) rate is reviewed on a

quarterly basis by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Consequently, you may see changes on your

bills in January, April, July and/or October. CenturyLink will apply rate changes on all applicable CenturyLink

charges, such as those for the local line, private line interstate, long-distance interstate and international service. The

Federal USF rate and charge are clearly identified on your bill. The effective rate can be found on

http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/contribution-factor-quarterly-filings-universal-service-fund-usf-management-

Federal Access Charge Changes - The annual adjustments of a federally approved telephone Subscriber Line

Charge and Access Recovery Charge took effect July 1, 2016. These charges cover part of the cost for providing

access to and maintenance of your local network. The effective rates can be found on your bill.

Your Rights Regarding Pay-Per-Call Information-Delivery Services - CenturyLink wants to be sure you are

informed of your legal rights related to pay-per-call information-delivery services. These are services you generally

access through dialing prefixes like “900” or “700” and that charge by the call or by the minute. Pay-per-call

services can include recorded telephone messages, interactive programs or other information services. CenturyLink

does not provide interstate pay-per-call services. But we do bill customers in our local service region on behalf of

many third-party companies, including interexchange long-distance carriers and billing aggregators. A number of

these companies, in turn, bill on behalf of pay-per-call service providers. You have specific rights and

responsibilities regarding pay-per-call charges that may appear on any of these various companies’ bill pages within

your CenturyLink bill. We are providing this notice in order to explain those rights as described in the federal

Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act (TDDRA).

free number listed on the bill page where the pay-per-call charge appears no later than 60 days after you receive the

whichever is later. When you call, be prepared to provide the following information:

• Your name and telephone number

per-call billing entity - about a disputed charge, CenturyLink will credit your bill for the disputed amount and refer

the matter and the charges back to the billing entity. That billing entity, or the pay-per-call service provider, may

elect to pursue further action, so it is always good to follow-up with the entity billing the charges on behalf of the

pay-per call provider to assure full resolution of your matter.

Telecommunications Relay Service

Dial 7-1-1 or Special Toll Free Numbers Listed in Your Telephone Directory

Telecommunications Relay Service is a free telephone service that allows persons with hearing or speech disabilities

to place and receive telephone calls using standard telephone equipment or telephone equipment designed for

individuals with disabilities. To use Relay dial one of the toll free numbers listed in your telephone directory, or

simply dial 7-1-1. A specially trained Communications Assistant (CA) will answer your call and relay the telephone

conversation between you and the party you are calling. All call information and conversations are confidential.

Relay service is available 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. Long distance calls placed for you can be billed to your

existing long-distance service calling plan, collect, or with the use of a pre-paid calling card, carrier calling card, or

third-party billing.

Types of TRS Calls

Computer (ASCII): users can access Relay Service by setting the communications software to the following

protocols: speeds ranging from 300 to 2400 baud: 8 Bits, No Parity; 1 Stop Bit; Full Duplex. For speeds at or below

300 baud, follow the above using Half Duplex.

Hearing-Carry-Over (HCO): HCO allows hearing individuals with very limited or no speech capability to type his

or her conversation for the Communications Assistant to read aloud to the hearing person. The HCO user hears the

other party’s response. HCO requires a specially designed telephone.

Internet Protocal (IP) Relay: Connect to the relay using your computer or other web device. The Communications

Assistant handles the call the same as a traditional relay call - “voicing” or reading everything you type to the other

party - and typing everything the other party says for you to read on your screen.

Spanish Relay: Spanish speaking persons with a hearing or speech disability are able to make relay calls. This is

not a translation service – both parties must speak Spanish, and at least one party must have a hearing or speech

disability.

Speech-to-Speech (STS): STS allows a person who has difficulty speaking or being understood on the phone to

communicate using his or her own voice or voice synthesizer. The Communications Assistant revoices the words of

the person with the speech disability so the person on the call can understand them. No special telephone is required.

Text Telephone (TTY): Allows anyone who is deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled to use a TTY to

communicate with anyone using a standard telephone.

Video Relay Service (VRS): Allows natural telephone communication between Sign Language and standard

telephone users. This service requires high-speed internet service such as DSL, cable modem, or mobile broadband

modem.

Voice-Carry-Over: VCO enables people who have difficulty hearing on the phone to voice their conversations

directly to the hearing person. The CA then types the hearing person’s response to the VCO user. (Requires a special

telephone with text display.)

Voice/Standard Telephone: A hearing person may use a standard telephone to place a relay call and easily

converse with a person who is deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled.

Voice Over Internet Protocal (VOIP): VoIP customers can access the

Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) by dialing 7-1-1 or using the toll-free number listed in your telephone

directory.

Captioned Telephone Relay

CapTel uses a telephone with a text display screen to allow a person who is hard of hearing to see word-for-word

captions of what the other party on the call is saying, while also listening to what is being said using their residual

hearing (much like TV captioning). The CapTel user speaks directly to the other person on the call, and the CA uses

voice recognition technology to repeat what the other party says, which is then transmitted as text to the user’s

specialized CapTel phone.

TTY Users and Emergency Assistance (“9-1-1”)

TTY callers should dial 9-1-1 directly. All 9-1-1 centers are equipped to handle TTY calls. Using Relay for 9-1-1

may result in a delay to getting your urgent message through. For more information about TRS, please go to the

Monitoring and Recording of Calls with CenturyLink Business Offices and

Other CenturyLink Representatives

Please remember, when you call CenturyLink for sales, service or repair issues, CenturyLink may monitor or record

those calls for quality assurance or training purposes. Additionally, when a CenturyLink customer service

representative or repair technician calls you, those calls too may be monitored or recorded for the same purpose.

Please inform all members of your household or business who may be in contact with CenturyLink of this

information.

High Cost Fund (Applicable to Colorado Customers Only) - You may have noticed a charge on your telephone

bill for the Colorado Universal Service Fund. This charge is required by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission

(PUC) to pay for the Colorado Universal Service Fund established by state law.

What is the Colorado Universal Service Fund? It is a fund to ensure that basic telephone service is affordable in

Colorado, and to support the building of broadband networks in unserved areas. Money from the fund is: (1) used to

support basic local phone service in non-competitive areas where costs to provide service are high, allowing local

phone rates to remain reasonably comparable across the state, and (2) assigned to a state broadband board and then

used to fund the building of broadband networks in unserved areas in Colorado.

What services is this charge applied to and who pays it? This charge is assessed as a percentage of your in-state

telecommunications services for local, wireless, paging, in-state long distance and optional services. The charge is

not applied to interstate services. All telecommunications customers in Colorado pay this monthly charge.

What is the monthly charge?

The monthly charge is currently set at 2.6 percent. The PUC may adjust the charge over time depending on how

much money is needed for the fund and to make sure that customers do not pay more than is necessary.

Who do I call if I have questions about this charge? For more information, contact your telecommunications

provider.

Slamming - Have you ever been slammed? Would you know if you have? Slamming is when one telephone

company changes a customer’s telephone service - usually long distance service - to another telephone company

without that customer’s permission. CenturyLink is here to offer some helpful tips on how to avoid being a victim of

slamming. Initially, you should call your local telephone company and request a “PC FREEZE” (Preferred Carrier),

which will prohibit future changes to your carrier selection until further notice from you. If you receive a call from a

telemarketer asking you to change your long distance service and you are happy with your current service, just say

that you are not interested and hang up. Don’t verify your name, your spouse’s name, or your address and never give

out your Social Security number. Always carefully read the fine print on everything, including any checks, offers for

calling cards, sweepstakes or drawings. If you are slammed, notify your local company to reconnect you to your

preferred long distance company at no charge. If the rates charged are higher than your normal rates, you may be

entitled to a refund.

Telephone Assistance - CenturyLink participates in a government benefit program (Lifeline) to make residential

telephone or broadband service more affordable to eligible low-income individuals and families. Eligible customers

are those that meet eligibility standards as defined by the FCC and state commissions. Residents who live on

federally recognized Tribal Lands may qualify for additional Tribal benefits if they participate in certain additional

federal eligibility programs. The Lifeline discount is available for only one telephone or broadband service per

household, and can be on either wireline or wireless service. Broadband speeds must be 10 Mbps download and 1

Mbps upload or faster to qualify. A household is defined for the purposes of the Lifeline program as any individual

or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is not

transferable, and only eligible consumers may enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully make false

statements in order to obtain Lifeline telephone service can be punished by fine or imprisonment and can be barred

from the program. If you live in a CenturyLink service area, please call 1-855-954-6546 or visit

centurylink.com/lifeline with questions or to request an application for the Lifeline program.

Annual Customer Do-Not-Call Notification - The federal government established a national Do-Not-Call

Registry where consumers can register their residential telephone number(s) (including wireless) for free and it will

remain on the national Do-Not-Call Registry until you remove or discontinue it. Consumers can register their

www.donotcall.gov. TTY users should call 1-866-290-4236.

8-1-1 Call Before You Dig - Digging into underground telephone, electric, gas or water lines can disrupt service to

your area or could cause serious injury and you could be charged substantial fines. For peace of mind, please call 8-

Notice PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT NOTICE: Section 54.410 of the Federal Communications Commission’s rules requires all Lifeline subscribers to demonstrate their eligibility to receive Lifeline services. This collection of information stems from the Commission’s authority under Section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §254. Using this authority, the FCC has designated USAC as the permanent Lifeline Administrator. The FCC has published rules detailing how consumers can qualify for Lifeline services and what Lifeline services they may receive (47 CFR §54.400 et seq.). The data provided in response to this information collection will be used by USAC to verify the applicant’s eligibility for Lifeline services.

We have estimated that each response to this collection of information will take, on average, between 0.25 and 0.75 hours. Our estimate includes the time to read the questions, look through existing records, gather the required data, and actually complete and review the form or response. If you have any comments on this estimate, or how we can improve the collection and reduce the burden it causes you, please write to the Federal Communications Commission, OMD-PERM, Paperwork Reduction Project (3060-0819), Washington, D.C. 20554. We also will accept your comments via the Internet if you send them to [email protected]. Please DO NOT SEND COMPLETED DATA COLLECTION FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS.

Remember – You are not required to respond to a collection of information sponsored by the Federal government, and the government may not conduct or sponsor this collection, unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.

What this worksheet is forUse this worksheet if someone else at your address gets Lifeline. The answers to these questions will help you find out if there is more than one household at your address.

What is a household?A household is a group of people who live together and share income and expenses (even if they are not related to each other).

Examples of one household: • A married couple who live together are one household. They must share one Lifeline

benefit. • A parent/guardian and child who live together are one household. They must share one

Lifeline benefit. • An adult who lives with friends or family who financially support him/her are one

household. They must share one Lifeline benefit.

Examples of more than one household: • 4 roommates who live together but do not share money are 4 households. They can have

one Lifeline benefit each, 4 total. • 30 seniors who live in an assisted-living home are 30 households. They can have one

Lifeline benefit each, 30 total.

Household expensesA household shares expenses. Household expenses include, but are not limited to, food, healthcare expenses, and the cost of renting or paying a mortgage on your place of residence and utilities.

IncomeHouseholds share income. Income includes salary, public assistance benefits, social security payments, pensions, unemployment compensation, veteran’s benefits, inheritances, alimony, child support payments, worker’s compensation benefits, gifts, and lottery winnings.

About LifelineLifeline is a benefit that lowers the monthly cost of phone or internet service (not both). You are only allowed to get one Lifeline benefit per household, not per person.
