The Lifeline Program is a government benefit program, the discount consists of federal monthly support of up to $9.25 depending upon service.

 

Only one Lifeline Program discount is available per household. 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.
