Describe the bug

A 508 compliance review for our project revealed that the contact info links in the footer — .usa-footer__contact-info a — are non-compliant. Links are expected to be underlined before hovering over with a mouse. There is no visual distinction between these links and regular text. Not even color.

Steps to reproduce the bug

View the footer before hovering the links:

…and after hovering the links (left one):

It is not visually apparent that the texts are links until you hover.

Expected Behavior

The contact info links in the footer are underlined before hovering them.
