The Lifeline Assistance Program

Lifeline Assistance provides reduced rates under federal and state universal service programs to eligible customers for wireless service and installation.

Eligibility for Lifeline Service

Eligibility is determined by participation in one of the following programs: (i) Medicaid, (ii) Food Stamps, (iii) Supplemental Security Income (SSI), (iv) Federal Public Housing Assistance, (v) Low- Income Home Entergy Assistance, (vi) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. Only one federally subsidized telephone is available per household. Additional lines are not subject to the discounted Lifeline rates. Corr Wireless must receive satisfactory evidence of your participation in one of these programs.

Link-Up

Customers eligible under the Lifeline Assistance program may also qualify for connection assistance under the Link-Up program equal to half of the customary connection charge or $34.00, whichever is less. Link-Up customers are eligible for a credit for a portion of installation charges (if applicable) through the federal Link-Up program as described above.

Availability

Lifeline Service is available to eligible customers as long as there is sufficient money in the Federal Lifeline funds to cover the discounted rates. In the event that the Federal Lifeline funds are not sufficient to cover new applicants in any given year, Corr Wireless will allocate any and all remaining surplus funds until all qualified Customers are covered. Corr Wireless may vary the credit as required by changes in federal or state universal service funding support.
