Ohio Lifeline Telephone Program
If you are a current customer of AT&T, Verizon and Cincinnati Bell and meet the elibility requirements, you might qualify for less expensive regular telephone service through the Ohio Lifeline Telephone Program. The Lifeline program could save you about half the cost of standard phone service cost, not including long distance fees.
To qualify for the Lifeline Program you need to live in Ohio and be receiving benefits from one of the government programs listed on the application, or your gross income must fall below the qualifying range listed:
Family Size Gross income
1 $16,245
2 $21,855
3 $27,465
4 $33,075
5 $38,685
For each additional person add $5,610.
If you think you qualify and have service from one of these companies, the next step is to complete an application. Simply click on your phone company’s name below, and print out the application. Then complete the application and either fax or mail it directly to the phone company.
If you have any questions on the Lifeline program, or live in a state other than Ohio, please contact your phone company.
