Understand the Benefits
Lifeline, Link Up, and Toll Limitation Service (TLS) support provide discounts that make basic, local telephone service more affordable for more than 7 million Americans. Approximately 1,700 telephone companies are eligible to provide these discounts. Consumers apply for the discounts through their local telephone company. These companies are then reimbursed through the Low Income Program of the Universal Service Fund for the revenue they forgo by providing discounted service to eligible consumers.
