The Verizon Lifeline Assistance Application helps new and existing customers access Lifeline, a federal benefit program that lowers the monthly cost of phone or home internet service for qualifying low-income households.
To qualify, applicants must participate in a qualifying government assistance program or have a household income at or below 135% of federal poverty guidelines. Qualifying programs include SNAP, Medicaid, SSI (Supplemental Security Income), Federal Public Housing Assistance, and the National School Lunch Program.
The application requires personal details, residency status, and proof of eligibility. Residents of federally recognized Tribal lands may receive an enhanced standard Lifeline benefit with additional service discounts. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enforces strict rules against fraudulent Lifeline claims, and all applicants must certify their submissions under penalty of perjury.
After submission, Verizon verifies each open application through the National Lifeline Accountability Database (NLAD) to confirm one benefit per household. Annual recertification is required to keep the Lifeline discount active.
