Federal Communications Commission

The Lifeline Support for Affordable Communications Program, established by the FCC, aims to help low-income families afford essential connectivity services that facilitate access to employment, healthcare, and education. Eligible participants can receive a discount on qualifying monthly telephone services, broadband internet, or bundled voice-broadband packages from approved wireline or wireless providers. Households may benefit from a discount of up to $9.25 per month, or up to $34.25 for those residing on Tribal lands. Under the Safe Connections Act (SCA), qualifying survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and similar crimes facing financial difficulties can receive emergency Lifeline support for a duration of up to six months. *For complete information, please visit the website. Only one Lifeline benefit is allowed per household, and recipients can choose either a wireline or wireless service discount, but not both simultaneously. Languages available: English.
