The Lifeline Program, a federal program that provides a monthly discount on landline or wireless phone service to eligible low-income households, is expanding to include broadband service. Changes will occur on December 2.

The Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which administers Lifeline (and other universal service programs like E-rate), will provide an overview of the program, the eligibility and enrollment process, and how libraries and other digital inclusion advocates can help connect eligible consumers to the program. USAC representatives will answer questions during the webinar and use the questions to continue refining FAQs.
Register for an informational webinar about the changes that will be held on November 17 at 3:00pm-4:00pm.
