What Is the Lifeline Program?

About Lifeline Assistance

Lifeline is a federal assistance program designed to make phone and internet service more affordable for low-income households. Eligible American can receive a monthly discount, typically up to $9.25 for their phone, internet, or bundled service.

Residents of federally recognized Tribal lands may qualify for enhanced support, with savings reaching up to $34.25 each month.

Some states provide added benefits by contributing state-level funding. For example, California offers up to $19 in monthly discounts, while Oregon provides flexible options that include:

  • $15.25 off phone service
  • $19.25 off high-speed internet
  • Free mobile phone and data plan options

How the Program Works?

The Lifeline program is managed at the federal level by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). Here’s how you get started:

  1. Eligibility Check – Apply through the National Verifier system run by USAC. You may qualify based on income or participation in federal assistance programs like SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI.
  2. Select a Provider – After approval, choose a participating service provider in your area.
  3. Receive Your Benefit – Your selected provider will apply the monthly discount to your service plan and manage your account.

Each household can only receive one Lifeline benefit, either phone or internet. A “household” includes everyone living together who shares income and expenses, regardless of relationship.

Eligibility criteria

Who Qualifies for the Lifeline Program?

The Lifeline Assistance Program offers monthly discounts on phone and internet services and in some cases, access to a free tablet for eligible low-income households. To qualify, you must either meet program-based or income-based criteria.

You automatically qualify for Lifeline if you or someone in your household is enrolled in any of the following federal programs:

  • SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) / EBT
  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
  • Veterans Pension or Survivors Benefits
  • Tribal assistance programs (such as Tribal TANF, Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, or Head Start if income-qualifying)

No need to guess, if you’re enrolled in one of these, you’re likely eligible for Lifeline.

income based eligibility

Even if you’re not enrolled in a federal program, you may still qualify based on household income. To be eligible, your income must be at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Household SizeMax Annual Income
1$20,331
2$27,594
3$34,857
4$42,120
(Add $7,263 for each additional person in the household)Income limits may vary by state.

Most states automatically verify eligibility through government databases, but if documentation is requested, be prepared to provide one of the following:

  • Benefit Award Letter
  • Statement of Benefits
  • Approval Letter from Program Office
  • Current Income Documentation (tax return, pay stubs, or benefit letter)

⚠️ An EBT or Medicaid card alone may not be enough, you’ll usually need a letter that clearly shows your name and participation status.

Annual Recertification:

Each year, you must verify that you still meet the requirements. If you don’t complete recertification within 60 days of receiving a notice, your Lifeline benefits may end.

Monthly Usage Requirement:

If you’re receiving free service, you must use it at least once every 30 days (such as making a call, sending a text, or using mobile data). Inactivity could result in service cancellation.

If you qualify, you’re one step closer to getting connected. We’ll help you understand what documents you need when you’re ready to apply.
