How To Keep Your Lifeline Benefit Every Year

3. Report Changes Within 30 Days

If you stop qualifying, for example because you no longer receive SNAP or Medicaid or your income rises above the limit, you must tell your provider within 30 days. You should also let them know if you move, so your service and records stay accurate.

A change in your situation does not always mean losing Lifeline. If you stop receiving one program but still qualify through another, or through income, you can update your information and keep your benefit.

Not sure whether you still qualify? Our eligibility check uses your state's current income limits.
