Minnesota Telephone Discounts provide affordable telephone service to low-income consumers. In order to fund the credit, local service providers collect a monthly surcharge from customers. Local service providers remit this surcharge revenue to the Department of Public Safety, which deposits the funds into the Telecommunications Access Minnesota (TAM) fund. The TAM surcharge on your bill will increase beginning July 1, 2025. The rate will increase from the current $0.03 to $0.04 per access line. The 911, 988, and TAP surcharge fees remain the same.
