Telephone assistance programs are available for consumers with limited incomes. Programs are available to help keep telephone service connected, reduce monthly phone bills, help pay connection fees and avoid shutoffs. Eligibility is determined based on your income or participation in other assistance programs. Remember, when you are seeking telephone assistance, each telephone company and/or program has different eligibility requirements, different benefits and different restrictions. Some programs have restrictions on the optional services available to participants. Please contact your local telephone company if you wish to participate in any of the telephone assistance programs.
