How much can I save?

If you qualify for the program, Lifeline can save you at least $9.25 a month on your wireless bill. See the “View Brochure and Coverage” section below for details on the Lifeline-supported services. If you live on federally-recognized Tribal lands, you may qualify for additional discounts.

Are there any restrictions?

Yes, only one Lifeline discount is allowed per household. A household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers (for example, if you receive a Lifeline discount on your wireless service, you would not also qualify to receive that discount on your home phone service).

Violation of the one per household rule will result in the subscriber’s de-enrollment from the program. Lifeline is a non-transferrable benefit, and the subscriber may not transfer his or her benefit to any other person. You will be required to certify under penalty of perjury that you will comply with this requirement.

Lifeline applicants must provide two proofs of identification and certify under penalty of perjury that they participate in an eligible program. Consumers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain the benefit can be punished by fine or imprisonment or can be barred from the program.

A Lifeline customer’s residential address must be in an area where Verizon Wireless is approved to offer Lifeline service. Lifeline assistance may not be applied retroactively.

The Tribal Link Up assistance cannot be applied to customer facilities or equipment, including the cost of your phone. Link Up assistance may not be applied retroactively.
