You can qualify through a government program or based on household income.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Program-Based Eligibility (Most Common)<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may qualify automatically if you or someone in your household receives benefits from one of the following programs:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaid.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Medicaid<\/a>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SNAP \/ EBT&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SSI (Supplemental Security Income)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecha.org\/node\/143\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Section 8<\/a>&nbsp;or Public Housing Assistance&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Veterans Pension or Survivors Benefit&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tribal programs, including: FDPIR, BIA General Assistance, Tribal TANF&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you receive one of these benefits, Lifeline verification is often fast and may not require extra documents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Income-Based Eligibility<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also qualify if your household income is at or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifelinesupport.org\/do-i-qualify\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines<\/a>. Income limits depend on household size and state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Documents You May Need to Apply<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If automatic verification fails, providers may ask you to upload documents such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Government-issued photo ID&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Benefit approval letter or income proof&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proof of address (utility bill, lease, or official mail)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.
