You may do this on your own at checklifeline.org or with help from a Viya representative at a Viya Customer Service Center. You must complete an application to prove your eligibility. You may be required to upload documentation to verify your date of birth, social security number, residential address, and income or federal assistance program participation. Once you have been approved in the National Verifier you can sign up to receive Lifeline service from Viya.<\/p> For more information, please contact VIYA Customer Service at 340-777-VIYA (8492)<\/em><\/strong><\/p> Lifeline is a federal benefit and willfully making false statements to obtain the benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment, or being barred from the program. Only one Lifeline service is available per household. A household is defined, for purposes of the Lifeline program, as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses. A household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers. Violation of the one-p er-household limitation constitutes a violation of the FCC\u2019s rules and will result in the subscriber\u2019s de-enrollment from the program. Lifeline is a non-transferable benefit, and the subscriber may not transfer his or her benefit to any other person.<\/p> You may qualify for federal Lifeline benefits if your household income is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG), or you participate in any of these programs:<\/p> Please note: You are responsible for notifying us within 30 days of learning that you no longer meet the eligibility requirements for the Lifeline program or if you have a change of address.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t |
