Lifeline Disclosures, Consents and Certifications
Lifeline is a government benefit program from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) providing discounts on broadband and/or voice services. Providing false information to obtain this benefit can result in fines, imprisonment, de-enrollment, or being barred from the program.
One Benefit Per Household: Only one Lifeline benefit is allowed per household. A household is defined as individuals living at the same address and sharing income and expenses. Receiving Lifeline benefits from multiple providers is a violation of FCC rules and will result in de-enrollment. Lifeline benefits cannot be transferred to another household or person.
Eligibility and Verification: Eligibility for Lifeline is determined through the National Verifier, National Lifeline Accountability Database, or FCC-approved alternatives administered by the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC). For more information, call 888-224-3213 or visit usac.org/lifeline.
Terms and Conditions: By submitting your application, you agree to SafetyNet’s Terms and Conditions, including Acceptable Use and Privacy Policies, available at safetynetwireless.com. The completion of a service application and being assigned a telephone number is described as “[activating] the service,” in accordance with 47 CRF § 54.407 (c)(1).
Certifications
By continuing, you acknowledge the following under penalty of perjury:
I meet Lifeline's income-based or program-based eligibility criteria per FCC rule 47 C.F.R. § 54.409.
I will notify SafetyNet within 30 days if I no longer qualify for Lifeline or if my household receives more than one Lifeline benefit.
If I qualify as a Tribal resident, I live on Tribal lands as defined in FCC rule 47 C.F.R. § 54.400(e).
If I move, I will provide my updated address to SafetyNet within 30 days.
My household will receive only one Lifeline service, and, to the best of my knowledge, it is not already receiving one.
The information provided is true and correct, and I understand false statements are punishable by law.
I understand I may be required to re-certify my eligibility at any time, and failure to do so will result in de-enrollment as per FCC rule 47 C.F.R. § 54.405(e)(4).
Benefit Transfer Consents
If I am transferring my Lifeline benefit from another provider to SafetyNet:
I understand my benefit will be applied to SafetyNet services and will no longer be applied to my previous provider.
I may lose service or be charged full rates by my former provider if I continue using their services after the transfer.
