Who can enroll in TCC’s Lifeline program?

Only eligible consumers may enroll in the following programs:

• You may qualify for Lifeline service if you can show proof that you or another person in your household participates in certain government assistance programs listed below or your annual income is 135% or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines. If you qualify based on income, you will be required to provide income verification. For a list of qualifying government assistance programs and income guidelines, please see the TCC application form.

 

• You may qualify for Lifeline Broadband (internet) service if you can show proof that you participate in certain government assistance programs or your annual income is 135% or below the Federal Poverty Guidelines. If you qualify based on income, you will be required to provide income verification.

 

The Lifeline program is limited to one discount per household. Each household can receive Lifeline benefits from only one company, which can be a broadband, wireline and wireless service provider. Lifeline cannot be transferred to another person, but you can keep the Lifeline benefit if you move to another address. You must activate your service. Lifeline is a federal benefit. Willingly making false statements to obtain the benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment, or being barred from the program. Proof of eligibility is required, and only eligible customers may enroll. You will be required to re-certify your eligibility for the program each year. If circumstances change and you are no longer eligible for Lifeline, you must inform Tri-Co within 30 days.
