Help with phone and internet costs
Lifeline and low-cost plans for eligible households.
If your household has a low income or receives certain benefits, you may qualify for discounted phone or internet service.
Options to check
- Lifeline: a long-running FCC program that discounts phone or internet service for eligible households; check eligibility through the program's official National Verifier
- Low-cost internet plans offered by many providers for households in programs such as SNAP or the National School Lunch Program
- Local programs through libraries, schools and community organizations
Be careful
Apply through official websites or your provider. Be wary of anyone asking for payment to "approve" you for a government program.
