When I needed health insurance, I made too much to qualify for free insurance...but was told I was too high risk to buy my own insurance and did not make enough to cover the full cost of the medicines I need every month(luckily my parents helped out).
If only I had worked less, I would have gotten more.
This is really a great deal. No, not all people will qualify, but there are many that will.
The process to qualify for Lifeline Service depends on the State you live in. In general, you may qualify if...
You already participate in other State or Federal assistance program such as Federal Public Housing Assistance, Food Stamps and Medicaid. OR Your total household income is at or below of the poverty guidelines set by your State and/or the Federal Government. AND No one in your household currently receives Lifeline Service through another phone carrier.
There is also: Lifeline and Link-Up Programs
Lifeline Assistance provides discounts on basic monthly service at the primary residence for qualified telephone subscribers. These discounts can be up to $10.00 per month, depending on your state.
Link-Up America helps income-eligible consumers initiate telephone service. This program pays one-half (up to a maximum of $30) of the initial installation fee for a traditional, wireline telephone or activation fee for a wireless telephone for a primary residence. It also allows participants to pay the remaining amount they owe on a deferred schedule, interest-free.
