On June 28, 2024, the FCC released an Order establishing the compensation formulas for certain Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), the total size of the TRS Fund for the 2024-25 TRS Fund year, and the percentages of revenue that covered service providers must contribute to the TRS Fund.
Specifically, the FCC:
- Establishes the compensation formula for traditional (TTY-based) TRS; Speech-to-Speech Relay Service (STS), analog Captioned Telephone Service (CTS), Internet Protocol (IP) Relay Services, and Video Relay Service (VRS) from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.
- Grants a temporary waiver to extend the expiration date of the current compensation formulas for Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Services (IP CTS) through July 31, 2024, unless a different expiration date is set by subsequent Commission action.
