LIFELINE

LifeLine is funded through the Universal Service Fund, and it also provides discounted internet service for low-income consumers. The Lifeline discount is available for eligible residential internet customers only, and program participants will receive a monthly credit on their Lake Region Fiber bill.

• Lifeline Discount: Up to $34.25/month for internet service
• If you qualify for Lifeline, you are automatically eligible to receive both discounts. You still need to complete the ACP opt-in form to get both Lifeline and ACP.
• To be eligible for Lifeline, you must meet income-based requirements or participate in one of the following programs
• Medicaid
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly Food Stamps
• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

ELIGIBILITY

Your eligibility to participate in LifeLine must be verified by the Universal Service Administrative Co using the LifeLine National Verifier. Lifeline benefits are non-transferable. One household can receive  LifeLine benefits, but a household cannot receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers.

LIFELINE RENEWAL PROCESS

Current Lifeline recipients must renew their benefits every year. The Lifeline program is administered by the Universal Service Administrative Co. (USAC). Once each year, you will receive a renewal letter from USAC. You have 60 days from the date of your letter to renew your benefit. If you do not renew by the deadline, you will lose your Lifeline discount.
