ASL Video About Video Phones
The Federal Communications Commission has produced a video in American Sign Language to explain the new ten-digit numbering requirements and emergency call handling procedures for Internet-based telecommunications relay services.
See it here.
Since December 31, 2008, persons with hearing and speech disabilities using Video Relay Service (VRS) or Internet Protocol Relay (IP Relay) – two forms of Internet-based Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) – have been able to obtain ten-digit geographic telephone numbers that permit access to enhanced 911 (E911) service, as well as facilitate the placing and receiving of IP-based TRS calls.
VRS and IP Relay users obtaining ten-digit telephone numbers can make emergency calls through their primary (“default”) provider and have the call, along with their ten-digit number and Registered Location information, automatically routed to the appropriate public safety answering point, the same E911 call center used by voice telephone users. In addition, all 911 emergency calls made through VRS or IP Relay must receive priority attention so that they will be answered by the first available Communications Assistant ahead of all other non-emergency calls.
Further, with a ten-digit number, voice telephone users calling someone using VRS or IP Relay will simply dial the user’s assigned ten-digit telephone number, rather than the VRS or IP Relay provider’s access number and the user’s IP address or proxy telephone number.
After June 30, 2009, all VRS and IP Relay users must have registered with a default provider –i.e., obtained an ten-digit geographic telephone number and provided location information – in order to place a VRS or IP Relay call (unless it is an emergency call).
This video only available in RealPlayer format. If you cannot open the video, please click on the first link, “Introduction to New Numbering and E911 Requirements for VRS and IP Relay” to download RealPlayer free of charge.

ASL Tax Tips
Silver Spring, MD - The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) is again partnering with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to make sure that important tax information reaches the deaf community.
Last year, the IRS produced seven public service announcement (PSA) videos, “Economic Stimulus Payment Basics,” and a short 1040-A Instructional video in American Sign Language (ASL), open captions and voice over. The NAD partnered with the IRS in 2008 to distribute this information.
Now, during the 2009 tax season, the IRS has produced a new ASL PSA series entitled, “Tax Tips”, with open captions and voice over.
“We are pleased, once again, to make this new and important information available to deaf and hard of hearing Americans across the country,” said Nancy J. Bloch, NAD Chief Executive Officer.
Please check back often for new video updates between now and April 2009.
Watch the ASL Tax Tip videos by clicking each topic:
Direct Deposit (TRT- :44)
IRS can deposit your tax refund directly into your bank or checking account, even if you move or change your name.
Top Return Mistakes (TRT- 1:02)
Mistakes will slow down the processing of your federal tax return. E-file and let the system double check your return for you.
E-File (TRT - :49)
Electronically file your federal tax return and find out how you can get our refund much faster than mailing in a tax form.
Careers at the IRS (TRT - :55)
Are you interested in getting a job in accounting, customer services or collections? Consider working for the IRS, one of the world’s largest financial institutions.
Undelivered Refunds (TRT - :48)
Millions of dollars in tax refunds can’t be delivered to thousands of taxpayers. Most times, that’s because IRS has the wrong address, so the postal service can’t make the delivery. Find out how you can get your refund.
Standard Deduction for Non-Itemizers (TRT - :43)
This year homeowners who don’t itemize may get a bigger standard deduction.
IRS e-File Requires e-Signature (TRT- :50)
New information! e-Filed returns must be electronically signed.
For more information, go to the IRS website.

House Votes to Delay Switch to Digital Television

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Congress voted Wednesday to give consumers four more months to prepare for the upcoming transition from analog to digital television broadcasting.
The House voted 264-158 to postpone the shutdown of analog TV signals to June 12, to address growing concerns that too many Americans won't be ready in time for the Feb. 17 deadline that Congress had set three years ago. The Senate passed the measure unanimously last week and the bill now heads to President Barack Obama for his signature.
The delay is a victory for the Obama administration and Democrats in Congress, who maintain that the previous administration mismanaged efforts to ensure that all consumers -- particularly poor, rural and minority Americans -- will be prepared for the switchover.
The Nielsen Co. estimates that more than 6.5 million U.S. households that rely on analog TV sets to pick up over-the-air broadcast signals still are not ready. People who subscribe to cable or satellite TV or have a newer TV with a digital tuner will not be affected.
"The passage of this bipartisan legislation means that millions of Americans will have the time they need to prepare for the conversion," the White House said in a statement. "We will continue to work with Congress to improve the information and assistance available to American consumers in advance of June 12, especially those in the most vulnerable communities."
Wednesday's vote came one week after House Republicans blocked the bill when it was in a special fast-track vote that required two-thirds support to pass. This time, the bill passed the House under a regular floor vote, which only requires a simple majority.
