The FCC is waiving Lifeline program eligibility rules to ensure that consumers receiving federal disaster assistance can easily apply for the program.
Households can qualify for the Lifeline program if they receive emergency food assistance from D-SNAP in hurricane-affected areas, enhancing aid measures.
The Lifeline program offers discounts for low-income consumers, up to $9.25 for broadband and $5.25 for voice service, providing crucial communication access.
Today's waiver allows households receiving FEMA assistance due to Hurricane Milton to enter the Lifeline program, ensuring continued connectivity during recovery efforts.
