In 2012, the FCC certified 53 programs to distribute equipment under the National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program (NDBEDP) in each of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Recently, the programs certified for Indiana and Minnesota informed the FCC that they were unable to continue participating in the NDBEDP. The FCC invited applications from other programs to become certified to distribute equipment under the NDBEDP to low income individuals who are deaf-blind in Indiana and Minnesota. The deadline for applications was June 19, 2014.
On July 16, 2014, the FCC announced that it selected the Perkins School for the Blind for certification to participate in the NDBEDP for the state of Indiana and Minnesota, effective July 16, 2014.
