Program Rules
Prove your eligibility
When you apply for the California LifeLine Program, you may need to show proof of participation in a qualifying program or proof of income.
Recertify every year
Every year, CPUC will check to confirm you still qualify. If they cannot automatically confirm that you qualify, you will receive a letter in the mail to recertify within 60 days, or lose your benefit.
Keep your company up-to-date
If you change your address, no longer qualify for the California LifeLine Program, or more than one person in your household receives the California LifeLine Program benefit, notify your company within 30 days.
One discount per household
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. A “household” is a group of people who live together and share income and expenses.
Use it or lose it
Every 30 days you must use your service at least once. If you don’t, you will get a 15-day notice to use it or it will get turned off and you will need to reapply for the California LifeLine Program.
Be honest on your application and forms
It is against the law to lie on any California LifeLine Program related forms or questionnaires.
