Only one Lifeline benefit per household. You qualify if household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or you participate in programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI or Veterans Pension. Eligibility is verified and recertified annually. Apply through the National Verifier or a participating provider. Source: FCC: Lifeline Support for Affordable Communications (checked Oct 17, 2026)

Ask your employer

• Ask whether internet or phone costs are covered, and whether it is a monthly stipend or a one-time allowance. Use the letter generator.
• Some states may require reimbursement of necessary work expenses; see Rights & tax.
