The North Carolina Lifeline Program is a government assistance program that provides a discount of up to $9.25 per month for low-income participants for either a home or wireless telephone service.
The program also supports stand-alone broadband and bundled voice-broadband packages.
To qualify for Lifeline service, you can show proof that you participate in certain government assistance programs or that your annual income is 135% or below the Federal Poverty Guideline.
If you qualify based on income, you will be required to provide income verification.
The program is non-transferable from one person to another. You may not receive a discount on both services at the same time.
The program is limited to one benefit per household.
