How It Works: Free Government Internet Service

Our Process to Help You Stay Connected

We make accessing free government internet simple and straightforward. Our website guides you through every step. From eligibility to activation, we’ve got you covered.

Currently, the Lifeline program offers discounts on internet bills. The ACP ended in June 2024 but may return soon. We’ll keep you updated on available programs.

Follow the steps below to get started. It only takes a few minutes to begin. Let’s bridge the digital divide together.

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility

First, find out if you qualify for the Lifeline program. Our eligibility checker tool makes this quick and easy. You’ll know in just a few clicks.

You may qualify if:

Your income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
You participate in programs like SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI.
You live on Tribal lands with specific program participation.

Visit our Eligibility Criteria page for more details. If eligible, you can move to the next step. We’ll guide you all the way.

Step 2: Learn How to Apply

Next, we provide clear instructions to apply for Lifeline. Our step-by-step guide covers everything you need. This includes documents and application methods.

What we help with:

Gathering required documents (e.g., proof of income or program participation).
Choosing an application method (online, mail, or through a provider).
Submitting your application with confidence.

Check out our How to Apply page for detailed guidance. We ensure you’re prepared for every step. Applying has never been easier.

Step 3: Connect with a Provider

Once approved for Lifeline, you’ll need a provider. We help you find participating internet providers in your area. This ensures you get your discount applied.

What to expect:

A list of providers like AT&T or Verizon offering Lifeline.
Tips to choose a plan that fits your needs.
Support to activate your discount quickly.

Your discount will be $9.25 per month, or $34.25 on Tribal lands. Activation typically takes 1-3 days. You’ll be online in no time.

Step 4: Stay Informed and Supported

After you’re connected, we keep you updated on your benefits. Lifeline requires annual recertification to continue. We’ll remind you when it’s time to renew.

We also share updates on programs like the ACP. If it returns in 2025, you’ll be the first to know. Stay tuned via our blog for the latest news.
