Enrolling in Lifeline Assistance requires you to submit a simple document or two in order to prove your eligibility. By gathering the necessary documents in advance and applying them to a Lifeline Assistance/Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) free government service provider, you can take advantage of this generous program.
As you might expect, the Lifeline/ACP free government cell phone program requires you to prove that you are who you say you are. That being said, Lifeline service providers are flexible and will accept a number of different forms of ID. Such as:
- US Passport
- W-2
- US Government ID with DOB/SSN
- Unemployment / Workers’ compensation statement
- Statement of Benefits with DOB/SSN
- SSA-1099
- Permanent Resident / Alien Card
- Driver’s license
- Social Security card
- Birth certificate
- Tax return
- Military ID
- Military discharge
- Weapons permit with DOB / SSN
- Certificate of naturalization
- Certificate of US citizenship
So take our simple advice: Determine if you qualify prior to doing anything else. If you do qualify, gather the necessary documents before you attempt to enroll. It will definitely save you a ton of time and trouble and get you those benefits even faster.
