What is the Lifeline program?
Lifeline is a government benefit that provides free cell phone service for eligible customers.
To ensure eligible Americans have access to critical communication services the Federal Communication Commission established the Lifeline Assistance service in 1985.
While ACP and Lifeline are separate government benefits, enrolling for service with enTouch Wireless allows you to initiate your application for both Lifeline and ACP benefits. Most individuals who qualify for Lifeline also qualify for ACP.
What is the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)?
Congress recently created the Affordable Connectivity Program, or ACP, which is a new long-term, $14 billion program. The ACP will replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, effective December 31, 2021 for new subscribers, or on March 1, 2022 for existing EBB subscribers. Eligibility for the ACP will be determined by the National Verifier, administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC).
