The Lifeline National Eligibility Verifier is
a system that determines eligibility for a Lifeline phone service applicant. It is managed by the USAC (Universal Service
Administrative Company).
ALL Lifeline applicants in Michigan MUST be qualified through the National Verifier before they can
complete a Lifeline subsidized cell phone application with a phone service provider. When you apply for Lifeline supported service, the
National Verifier will be checked to be sure that you are qualified for Lifeline service. If not, you will be presented with a message
informing you to go to the National Verifier and qualify then,
return to complete your Lifeline Cell Phone Service application.
Be sure to use the exact same information on your free cell phone service application as you provided to the National Verifier (Name, address, etc).
Additionally, on your Lifeline application, please enter your full name as it appears on your ID that you will provide as proof of
identity. If your ID shows a full middle name, enter your full middle name. If your ID uses your middle initial, enter your middle initial on
your Lifeline application. This will insure that your application does not fail for identity issues.

The federal Lifeline assistance program does not provide free government phones. Lifeline subsidizes low income households
for telephone or internet services. We apply this subsidy toward your minutes for a wireless plan. In Michigan, you will get
350 minutes per month, unlimited text messaging and 4.5GB of data - all for no charge (when qualified for EBB). If that's not enough,
you can easily top-off your voice or data at our low rates on a pay-as-you-go basis. Smartphones are available for an additional charge.
Your 350 minutes will replenish each month as long as you use your service and remain eligible!
Note: This plan is based in current FCC Lifeline program rules. Changes to those rules could result in additional charges or changes to service.
There is no contract, no credit check, and no obligation. You can cancel at any time with no
cancellation fee.
Minutes on the 350 minute per month plan expire each month on your cycle date and do not
roll over. Text messaging is available with this plan.
