Description:
This program was suspended in 2012 by the FCC.
Lifeline is a Wisconsin Universal Service Fund program that makes essential telecommunications more affordable for low-income households by reducing monthly telephone charges. Most telephone companies that provide local residential service in Wisconsin offer this program to their residential customers.
You can receive Lifeline discounts on only one telephone number – either wireless or wireline but not both – per household.
If you are interested in Lifeline financial assistance, use the Wisconsin Lifeline Provider Listing (above) to find your provider, contact them, and say that you want to apply for Lifeline benefits.
