What is the Lifeline Program?

 

To help make telephone service more affordable, eligible low-income  residential customers can qualify for a discount on qualified voice service at their primary residence under the Lifeline Program. The Lifeline Program is a government benefit program, the discount consists of federal monthly support of at least $9.25.

 

Only one Lifeline Program discount is available per household on a qualified landline service. Under the Lifeline Program, a household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. The Lifeline Program benefit is non-transferable. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain the discount can be punished by fine or imprisonment or can be barred from the Lifeline Program.

 

How do I apply?

 

To receive the Lifeline Program discount, residential customers must establish the eligibility of their household.
