Lifeline is a federal benefit created by the FCC and administered by the Universal Service Administrative Co. It lowers the monthly cost of phone or internet service for households that qualify. Millions of people are eligible. Most have never been told.
Lifeline lowers the monthly cost of phone or internet service for a household that qualifies. The benefit is applied to the bill by a participating provider, and it continues for as long as the household stays eligible.
Apply the benefit to either, through a participating provider
An ongoing monthly benefit, not a one-time credit
Many providers include a phone or tablet with a qualifying plan
Exactly what a household receives depends on the provider, the plan, and the state, and the terms are set by the program, not by us. Ask us and we'll tell you what's available where you are.
You qualify if your household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for your household size and state, or if you or someone in your household takes part in any of these programs:
Households on federally recognized Tribal lands also qualify through Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF, the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or income-qualified Head Start.
One benefit per household. Not per person. A household is everyone who lives together and shares income and expenses, so two people at the same address can sometimes each qualify if they are financially independent of one another.
You recertify every year. Once you're enrolled, you confirm annually that you still qualify. Miss it and the benefit stops, so watch for the notice.
