Legal Notes
North American Local, LLC Lifeline service is funded by the Universal Service Fund Lifeline Program and administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company. Eligibility determinations are made by the Universal Service Administrative Co. (“USAC”), the government entity that administers the Lifeline program. If a consumer believes they may qualify and wants to take advantage of the Lifeline program, they need to apply through the USAC National Verifier process, directly with USAC or with the assistance of a provider, and provide that eligibility determination to North American Local, LLC to complete their enrollment and receive the benefit.
Once eligibility information has been provided and enrollment is completed, a discount will be applied to the cost of the consumer’s qualifying broadband Internet subscription service on a monthly basis until they no longer qualify, request deactivation of the program benefit, or transfer the benefit to another service provider. These requirements are based on a person’s participation in a state or federal support program(s) or by meeting certain income requirements based upon the Income Poverty Guidelines as determined by the US Government.
Federal law limits the availability of the Lifeline Benefits. Federal law permits only one Lifeline benefit per household (which is defined as any individual or group of individuals who live together at the same address and share income and expenses). Qualified applicants understand they may be required to re-certify their continued eligibility at any time, and that failure to re-certify will result in the loss of their benefits.
- Do not currently receive Lifeline support for a telephone line serving their household and no other resident in their household participates in the Lifeline Program.
- Will notify North American Local, LLC by calling 1-877-200-2932 within thirty (30) days if they no longer qualify for any of the public assistance Programs identified in their application form, no longer meet the criteria for income eligibility, if another member of their household receives Lifeline benefits, or if they no longer qualify for Lifeline for any other reason.
- Will notify North American Local, LLC of any change of address within thirty (30) days by calling 1-877-200-2932.
- Reviewed the information contained in their application, and it is true and correct to the best of their knowledge and belief. Providing false or fraudulent information to obtain Lifeline benefits is punishable by law.
Applicants who qualify and are enrolled in the Lifeline Program with North American Local, LLC will be provided with a cellular phone, at no cost, together with a service plan eligible allotment of airtime minutes and/or data each month for as long they remain eligible for service. Eligibility determinations are at the sole discretion of the FCC and the Universal Service Administrative Co. (“USAC”), which oversees the administration of the benefit program.
