How do I apply?


Applying for the Lifeline program is easy.

Step 1
Contact your telephone service provider to see if they offer Lifeline. Click here for a list of all New York State telephone service providers.

Step 2
Once you have verified that your telephone service offers Lifeline you may contact them and request to be included in the Lifeline program. Some service providers will have an on-line application process while others will mail you an enrollment package.

Step 3
Send your completed Lifeline application to your telephone service provider.

Please note:
There have been recent changes to the federal Lifeline program, including information required on the service application. Your telephone carrier may require proof of eligibility and will periodically confirm that your discount service eligibility is still in effect. If you are no longer eligible, you will be notified that your discount will be discontinued.
