Lifeline is a non-transferable, federal benefit that makes monthly broadband internet service more affordable on one home internet plan. Based on the income-related eligibility criteria described below, you may qualify for this program. This means you may receive a monthly credit for your broadband internet service. The current discount provided under the Chesnee’s Lifeline service is up to $9.25 per month for broadband service each month that the customer qualifies. The South Carolina Lifeline assistance program provides a credit of $3.50 on the monthly telephone bill of qualified residents ($39.00 in savings per year). To receive this discount, an individual, a dependent, or someone in the household must participate in one of the following federal assistance programs: “Medicaid; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Federal Public Housing Assistance; Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit Programs.” Or, the total household income must be at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines. You may not transfer your Lifeline discount to another person, even if he or she qualifies for Lifeline.
