When times are tough, the phone becomes especially important-as we wait for a call back from a potential employer or receive words of encouragement from a friend. Because no one should be without phone service, Ameritech, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission and the Michigan Public Service Commission, offer Lifeline Service-help for low income households. Ameritech must be contacted within 30 days of ordering phone service. Households receiving assistance from Family Independence Agency automatically qualify. Proof of income will be required.
Medical certification is required.
