The Telecommunications Equipment Purchase Program (TEPP) is to help people with disabilities buy specialized equipment they need in order to use basic telephone services. The TEPP is one of several different programs paid for by the Wisconsin Universal Service Fund (USF) established by the Public Service Commission. Money collected from Wisconsin telephone service providers goes into the USF.

To apply for a TEPP voucher on-line, use our new on-line application below. If you are unable to use the on-line application, you can print the application form provided in pdf format and mail to the address on the form.

Voucher Application
Important Notice: It generally takes 3 to 4 weeks to receive your voucher. It will take longer to receive your voucher if you apply for TAP to cover the copayor you choose not to provide your social security number. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received and vouchers are issued on a first come, first served basis. We encourage you to use the on-line application instead of mailing or faxing applications as this will result in a much quicker turn around time for voucher processing.

Voucher Status
When you open the "Voucher Application, On-line TEPP Application", you can also check on the last time you used TEPP funds. Fill out the status with your name and phone number(the same as when you last applied) and the database will tell you when you last completed a TEPP voucher or the status of your current application. You are eligible to receive another voucher three years from the voucher completed date. If the three years have elapsed, please click on the "Click here for On-line TEPP Application Form" and proceed to fill in all the requested information. If the database does not give you any status information, please contact the TEPP administrator at TEPP@Wipfli.com
