Lifeline is a government assistance program. Only eligible consumers may enroll in the program and documentation is necessary. Lifeline is nontransferable.

Roaming outside the Southern Linc Regional Service Area, voice mail, data plans, access to downloads and other features and services are not available with this plan. Taxes and surcharges are additional.

Qualifying subscribers must (1) meet the eligibility criteria for participation in the Lifeline program, (2) have only one Lifeline Call Manager or Lifeline Data Manager service plan per address, (3) discontinue Lifeline with any other provider, and (4) immediately notify Southern Linc if they cease to meet the eligibility criteria.

Subscriber must be a resident of the state in which the subscriber is applying for the Lifeline service.

Lifeline service is subject to the following eligibility determination and certification: A P.O. Box cannot be used as an address to establish Lifeline service. A subscriber must be a resident of the state in which the subscriber is applying for the Lifeline service. Only one LifeLine Call Manager service plan is available per household. The Lifeline program defines a household 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-per-household limitation constitutes a violation of the Federal Communications Commission's rules and will result in the subscriber's de-enrollment from the program. 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. Subscriber's name, address, phone number, date of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number will be provided to the National Lifeline Accountability Database. Each year, the subscriber will be required to recertify eligibility to receive Lifeline benefits, and that failure to recertify will result in termination of the Lifeline benefit. Lifeline is a non-transferable benefit, and the subscriber may not transfer his or her benefit to any other person.
