Government-Assistance Internet FAQ's

What is government-assistance internet?

It refers to programs that subsidize internet service for eligible low-income households, making connectivity affordable. For dealers, offering these programs adds a needed service alongside Lifeline phones and brings in customers who qualify.

Who qualifies for subsidized internet?

Eligibility is typically based on income or participation in assistance programs, similar to Lifeline. The exact rules depend on the current program, so verify a customer's eligibility through the required process before enrolling them.

How does offering it help my business?

It expands what you can offer each customer, serving them more completely and adding revenue beyond the phone. Customers who come for a Lifeline phone often need internet too, so bundling the services deepens the relationship.

Is enrolling customers in these programs compliant?

It can be, as long as you follow the program's eligibility verification and enrollment rules exactly. As with Lifeline, sloppy or improper enrollments create serious compliance risk, so accuracy and documentation are essential.
