Can I Qualify For a Free Phone?

To qualify for a free phone through the Lifeline Assistance Program, there are certain eligibility requirements that you must meet. Here's how you can determine if you are eligible:

1. Income-Based Eligibility:

If your household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, you may qualify for a free phone. This varies based on the number of people in your household and the state in which you live.

2. Government Assistance Programs:

If you participate in any of the following federal or state assistance programs, you are likely eligible:

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Medicaid
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit

3. State-Specific Requirements:

Some states have additional eligibility criteria or may offer enhanced benefits. It's important to check the specific rules for your state to ensure you're meeting all the requirements.

Once you confirm that you meet the eligibility criteria, you can browse the available providers in your state and select the one that offers the best plan for your needs. Our website can help you filter the providers based on your state and eligibility, making it easier to find the right option.
