To access Lifeline, individuals must first confirm their eligibility by applying, which can be based on income or participation in government assistance programs. Residents of California, Oregon, or Texas should check with their phone or internet provider or visit their state websites for specific application procedures. If assistance is needed due to a disability, individuals can contact the Lifeline Support Center at (800) 234-9473. After qualifying, applicants can select a nearby phone or internet provider that offers the Lifeline benefit and sign up for service, or request that their current provider apply the discount to their existing service.
