Lifeline with Luminate

The Lifeline Program is a federal assistance program in the United States that provides eligible low-income households with discounted or free phone and internet services. The program is administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is designed to help ensure that low-income households have access to basic communication services.

Lifeline provides a discount of up to $9.25 per month on a phone or internet service bill for eligible households. Eligible households can use this discount for phone service, internet service, or a combination of both.

To be eligible for Lifeline, a household must have an income at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines or participate in one of several federal assistance programs, such as Medicaid, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), or SSI (Supplemental Security Income).
