“I am disabled and low income. I depend on the Lifeline program to provide services that my health and financial needs are dependent on such as accessing my bank, ordering prescriptions, supplements, groceries, special needs items, clothing, and the primary source of social interaction from my online support groups. If I were cut off from these services I would not just be homebound I would be isolated as well.”

“I have family in Puerto Rico and disconnecting Lifeline would be disconnecting us entirely.”

“As a Lifeline beneficiary, I’d be lost with the support to pay my landline telephone bill. I’m a disabled veteran, and can’t even afford a cell phone, so a landline is essential to call for help, and the support from Lifeline is essential to maintain that service.”
