You can use the attached file to look up your organization's Category 2
Budget. Budget data is provided by USAC and is current as of today 1/10/23.
Budgets in the file are pre-discount, so multiply your E-Rate discount
percentage by the amount shown in the last column to determine the total
Category 2 funding that you are entitled to apply for during the
remaining 3 years of the budget cycle (FY2023 - FY2025).

Example: pre-discount budget of $25,000 * E-Rate discount percentage of 80%
= actual budget of $20,000
