Find My Free Service →OUR HISTORY & IMPACT
Helping 1,000’s of Families Stay Connected
Since 2004, Lifeline Benefits has operated with one core goal: to bridge the digital divide. For low-income individuals and families, staying connected is essential for emergency services, job searching, healthcare appointments, and education. We simplify the often confusing process of qualifying for the government-backed Lifeline and ACP programs.
Our team is dedicated to providing clear, accessible information, ensuring that every eligible household can quickly access their benefit. We are not a service provider; we are your trusted guide to the best available free service plans in your local area.

Every provider on our list is checked for current licensing, compliance with federal program rules, and service quality in multiple coverage areas.
Best Value Guarantee
We ensure the providers we recommend offer the most benefits (e.g., unlimited data, free phone) for the maximum subsidy available.
