Do You Qualify for a Free Government Cell Phone?
The government Lifeline program provides free government cell phones and 250 free minutes each month for those receiving government aid or with lower incomes. It is already estimated that close to 12 million people already participate in the program and millions more qualify. With the economy sputtering and a shortage of jobs available, Lifeline is providing a key service for those that normally wouldn’t have access to a cell phone. A cell phone is crucial in an emergency like if your car breaks down and to stay in touch with work, doctors, emergency services, family, and many more.
You may qualify if you receive assistance from programs such as public housing assistance, food stamps (SNAP), Medicaid, Section 8 housing, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP), National Free School Lunch and others. Eligibility may vary by state depending on which programs you are on.
You may also qualify based on income. If your household makes less than 135% of the federal poverty guidelines, you qualify for a free phone.
