About California LifeLine Program: The California LifeLine Program is a state government assistance initiative that offers discounted monthly phone services to eligible households. Proof of eligibility is required, and only one discount per household is permitted, except for specific cases such as teletypewriter users and participants in the Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program.

It’s important to note that each household must choose to receive the discount on either a home phone or a cell phone, but not both. Additionally, households cannot receive the discount from multiple phone companies simultaneously.

Consumers found making false statements to obtain benefits may face fines, imprisonment, or program disqualification. Failure to use the service for a 30-day period may result in de-enrollment from the program.

Please be aware that coverage limitations, such as weather conditions or service outages, may affect wireless phone service quality or access to emergency services like E-911 or 911 during an emergency. Removing a wireless cell phone from a residence without alternative phone services may leave residents without a means to make 911 calls during emergencies.

It’s crucial for California residents to understand the guidelines and terms associated with the California LifeLine Program. By accessing lifeline services through Excess Telecom, eligible households can benefit from discounted monthly phone services. However, it’s essential to adhere to program rules to maintain eligibility and ensure continued access to these valuable services.

Lastly, it’s essential to acknowledge that coverage limitations, such as weather conditions or service outages, may impact the reliability of wireless phone service and access to emergency services like E-911 or 911. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider these factors when relying on lifeline services for communication needs, especially during emergencies.
