Disclaimer - LifelineFree

Last updated: August 3, 2026

We work hard to keep LifelineFree.com accurate and helpful. Please take a moment to read this page so you know how to use the information here safely.

For Information only

Everything on this site is for general information and education. It is not legal advice, financial advice, or official government guidance. We are writers and researchers, not lawyers, government workers, or licensed advisors. If you need advice for your exact situation, please talk to a qualified professional or contact the program directly.

We try hard, but programs change

The Lifeline program, its rules, income limits, and the list of active providers can change often — sometimes with little notice. We research carefully and update our articles as things change, but we cannot promise that every detail is fully up to date, complete, or free of mistakes at the moment you read it.

Prices, plans, phone models, and provider availability change all the time. What was true when we wrote an article may be different today.

Always Check with the Official Source

Before you apply or make a decision, please confirm the details with an official source:

The Lifeline program: lifelinesupport.org (run by USAC)
The FCC: fcc.gov
Your provider: check the provider’s own website or call them directly

Official sources always come first. If something on our site and an official source disagree, trust the official source.

We cannot approve you or promise results

We are not the government and not a phone provider. That means:

We cannot approve your application, enroll you, or send you a phone or service.
We cannot guarantee that you will qualify for Lifeline or any provider.
Only the National Verifier, USAC, and your chosen provider can decide if you qualify.

See our Government-Affiliation Disclaimer for more.

Your decisions are your own

You are welcome to use the information here to learn and prepare. But any action you take based on our content is your own choice and your own responsibility. LifelineFree.com is not responsible for any loss, problem, or outcome that results from using this site.

Links to other websites

We link to other websites — like official program pages and provider sites — to help you. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or safety. A link is not an endorsement.

Advertising

This site shows ads through Google AdSense, and we are not paid by any provider or agency. Ads are chosen by Google, not by us, and are not endorsements. You can read the full details in our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
