SNAP & Free Mobile Service FAQs
Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is an automatic qualifying criterion for the federal Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). This is considered direct proof of low-income status, streamlining your application process.
You will need to provide documentation such as a current or prior year’s letter from your state agency confirming your enrollment in SNAP/CalFresh (or the equivalent state program). This document must be dated within the last 12 months.
Yes. Enrollment in SNAP qualifies you for both programs. When you enroll with an eligible provider, you can receive the combined benefit, which usually covers the full cost of a mobile service plan (often including unlimited talk, text, and data).
