- 10.7(1) Surcharge funds shall be remitted on a calendar quarter basis by the close of business on the twentieth day following the end of the quarter with a remittance form as prescribed by the 911 program manager. Providers shall issue their checks or warrants to the Treasurer, State of Iowa, and remit to 911 Program Manager, Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, 7900 Hickman Road, Suite 500, Windsor Heights, Iowa 50324.
- 10.7(2) For the purposes of surcharge remittance and collection, Non-Fixed VoIP, as described in 47 CFR Part 9, shall be considered wireless service.

Claims or invoices not submitted within 20 days of the end of the calendar quarter are not eligible for reimbursement and may not be included in future claims and invoices. Payments to providers shall be made in accordance with these rules and the State Accounting Policy and Procedures Manual.
- 10.7(4) NG911 network service providers, 911 call processing equipment providers, 911 call transport providers, and third-party 911 automatic location identification database providers shall be reimbursed for only those items and services that are defined as eligible in the NG911 Network Implementation and Operations Plan and when initiation of service has been ordered and authorized by the 911 program manager.
- 10.7(5) If it is found that an overpayment has been made to an entity, the 911 program manager shall attempt recovery of the debt from the entity by certified letter. Due diligence shall be documented and retained by the department. If resolution of the debt does not occur and the debt is at least $50, the department will then utilize the income offset program through the department of revenue. Until resolution of the debt has occurred, the department may withhold future payments to the entity.
This rule is implemented to help 911 authorities administer Iowa Code section 34A.7A.
