Lifeline Internet Discount Program

 

I recently looked into the Lifeline program to see what it is all about.  In the United States there is a federal subsidy program designed to help seniors and families with children better afford access to the internet.  I had received a flyer from the school district about this about a year ago, but since I had also received a reimbursement grant from them already I never pursued it.  Now that I'm retired I decided to see what the program was and if I qualified.  I did.  The application process is quite simple and it is all based on you income.  They processed my application and gave me an answer very quickly.  Once approved they give you a number and you give that to your provider. Now I receive a $30 discount on my internet service each month.  Every little bit helps.  If you would like to see if you are eligible for this program click here.  See if you qualify.
