Cell Phone Assistance
Recognizing the important benefits associated with phone access and concerned that low-income households may not be able to afford phone service on their own, the government created the Lifeline Assistance program.
Citizens who are on assistance programs such as SNAP or Medicaid or who are 135% or below the federal poverty level may receive a free cell phone and/or talk/text/data.
