E-Rate Program Debarment - Moshe Schwartz
Summary
The FCC issued a notice of debarment against Moshe Schwartz from the Federal E-Rate Program for a period of three years. The debarment, referenced as DA 26-263 (FR ID 337541), commences on the date Schwartz receives the debarment letter or April 2, 2026, whichever is earlier. This enforcement action prohibits Schwartz from participating in E-Rate program activities during the debarment period.
What changed
Moshe Schwartz has been debarred from the Federal E-Rate Program for three years following an FCC enforcement action (DA 26-263). The debarment commences on April 2, 2026, or upon receipt of the formal debarment letter, whichever occurs first. The E-Rate program provides funding for telecommunications and internet services to eligible schools and libraries under 47 CFR Part 54.
Educational institutions and service providers currently engaged with Schwartz or considering future partnerships should verify no active relationships exist with the debarred party. Entities must ensure compliance with program integrity requirements throughout the three-year debarment period. Continued participation with a debarred individual may result in program violations and potential loss of E-Rate funding.
What to do next
- Verify no active contracts or relationships with Moshe Schwartz in E-Rate program activities
- Review internal controls for vetting program participants and service providers
- Update compliance procedures to flag debarred parties in E-Rate transactions
Penalties
Three-year debarment from Federal E-Rate Program; exclusion from program participation during debarment period
