The Lifeline Program is a federally funded program that provides a monthly discount on phone or internet service to eligible households. Qualification is determined based on income or your participation in several federal assistance programs, and you must recertify every year. You must qualify through the Universal Service Administrative Company before enrolling with MTA. To learn how to apply or to see if you qualify for the program, give us a call or go to www.lifelinesupport.org for further information.
Congress created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), $14 billion program that replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBBP). The federal government recently announced that ACP will end on May 31, 2024 and as such is in the process of winding down with existing recipients.
