Lifeline and provider service

Lifeline is a federal service-discount program administered by USAC under FCC oversight. Qualification for Lifeline can reduce the cost of qualifying communications service, while the exact service and promotional device terms offered by Govt Tablet LLC are part of the provider customer process.

A qualifying program or income pathway does not by itself determine a specific device, price or plan. The applicable offer must still be reviewed for the customer and location.
