AT&T Lifeline Service

Save Money with Lifeline

Lifeline service is just $24.99 a month, which is then discounted by $9.25 to reduce your monthly charge to $15.74.

Qualifying for Lifeline

Lifeline is a federal benefit. Willfully making false statements to obtain the benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment, or being barred from the program. Only one Lifeline service is available per household. A household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. A household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers. Violation of the one-per-household limitation constitutes a violation of the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) rules and will result in the subscriber's de-enrollment from the program. Lifeline is a non-transferable benefit, and the subscriber may not transfer it to any other person.

You may qualify for federal Lifeline benefits if your household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG), or if you participate in any of these programs:

• Medicaid (not Medicare)
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or Food Stamps)
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
• Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit

Customers seeking to qualify for program benefits under the income-based standards are required to provide written documentation of their household income.

Please note: You are responsible for notifying AT&T when you no longer meet the applicable eligibility requirements for the Program within (30) days of becoming aware of such ineligibility.
