The federal Lifeline program and the Affordable Connectivity program help make phone and internet service more affordable for low-income individuals.

Eligible individuals qualify for a free smartphone through the Lifeline program, as well as free data, free texting, and free minutes.

You may also qualify for discounted internet service plus help with purchasing a laptop, computer, or tablet through the Affordable Connectivity Program.

If you participate in certain assistance programs like Medicaid, NJ SNAP, or SSI, you automatically qualify for both federal programs.
