PUBLIC NOTICE – LIFELINE
Lifeline service is a government program designed to make monthly residential telecommunication services more affordable to eligible low-income customers. Customers who qualify for the Lifeline program are also eligible for toll blocking at no additional charge.
The Federal Lifeline discount can be applied to qualifying voice or broadband services. To be eligible for the Federal Lifeline discount, a customer’s annual household income must be at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or a customer must participate in one of the following programs: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Medicaid; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Federal Public Housing Assistance; Veterans Pension & Survivors Pension; or qualifying Tribal Programs.
Lifeline is a non-transferable service, and eligible subscribers may receive assistance from only one wireline or wireless telecommunications provider per household. Only eligible customers may enroll in the program. Customers must submit a Lifeline application form and will be required to certify continued eligibility annually. Customers who willfully make false statements to obtain Lifeline benefits can be fined, imprisoned, or barred from the program.
Basic services are offered to all customers in NVC’s service territories at the rates, terms, and conditions specified in NVC’s tariff. If you have any questions regarding Lifeline service, please call us at 605-725-1000, toll-free at 1-888-919-8945, or visit our office at 3211 7th Ave SE, Suite 102, Aberdeen, SD.
