How much does Lifeline pay?
All states and territories offer Lifeline, a monthly discount for local phone charges. And, if your state provides matching funds, you may be able to get as much as $12 off a month. (Larger discounts are offered in the District of Columbia and Massachusetts). Lifeline does not cover the cost of extra features such as call waiting and caller ID. Native American Indian and Alaskan tribal communities may qualify for Enhanced Link-Up and Lifeline.
