New York State
Service Provider Information |
| Introduction |
|
Although it is the sole responsibility of the applicant to accurately calculate
reimbursement claims for eligible services and to properly complete the Form
472 ("BEAR" form), the better Service Providers are working hard to provide as
much assistance as possible.
At a minimum, the Form 472 requires that the associated Service Provider sign an
acknowledgement (in Block 4) that appropriate discounts will be provided. The
Service Provider's signature must be obtained by the applicant before the Form
472 can be filed. The Service Provider's signature need not be original but can
be obtained, for example, by fax. Service Providers may also be able to help by
providing historic copies of bills and by consulting on the identification of
eligible services. The first point of contact with a Service Provider should be
the applicant's account representative.

| NYS Service Provider Block 4 Acknowledgement Procedures |
| Most Service Providers have established standard procedures, typically including
a fax line, to process the Block 4 acknowledgement. Click below for a list of
centralized Form 472 acknowledgement fax numbers for certain NYS Service
Providers. This list will be updated as data become available. Service Provder
corrections and contributions to this list should be sent to

| NYS Service Provider SPINs |
|
All references to Service Providers in E-rate forms require a Service Provider
Identification Number ("SPIN"). SPINs are 9-digit numbers that appear to have
been assigned consecutively and are subject to error in data entry. Erroneous
SPINs can obviously create major problem in the processing of discounts and
reimbursements. Applicants need to carefully check not only the SPINs used in
their own applications but as provided by the SLD in FCD letters (see
Review of FCD Letters).
The SLD has always been reluctant to give out SPINs to applicants, apparently
believing that the applicants should be getting them from the Service Providers
(perhaps to avoid confusion when a Service Provider has different SPINs for
different divisions).
E-Rate Central recommends the following:
-
If the search yields multiple contacts for a Service Provider, start by calling
the person listed geographically closest to you. We have found that some listed
contacts know little about the E-rate program (or that they're even supposed to
be the contact). Keep calling until you find a knowledgeable person.
A history of New York State Service Provders and their Identification Numbers
(SPIN) as filed on Form 471s for FY2003 is available by clicking the link
below. However, this list should be used with extreme care, and not at all
by non-New York State applicants. Many service providers utilize a series of
SPINs for different divisions or geographic sales territories (possibly even
distinguishing in New York between upstate and downstate). The final authority
on any SPIN should be the service provider. This list will be updated as data
become available. Service Provder corrections and contributions to this list
should be sent to
webmaster@e-ratecental.com.
