Address

NOTE: Your address must match the address EXACTLY how it is on your Government-Sponsored Benefits. P.O. Boxes and Business Addresses are not acceptable. If you live in a shelter, transitional home, hotel/motel, nursing home, or any rehab (drug, physical, or mental facility), or have a Post Office General Delivery address please use that as your address and specify the name of the facility on the line below and include the main contact number of that facility if there is one. The Lifeline Program & Lifeline Experts will attempt to obtain an address waiver, but we must have an alternate address to which we can ship your device once you are approved. If you are homeless, please state the address where you currently receive mail or last received mail. If you don't receive mail anywhere, write HOMELESS in the address field and provide us with an alternate address so we can ship your device to you once you are approved.

For those individuals who are not on any of the approved Govt. Benefits Programs, you may apply for a FREE Smartphone under the Income Qualifications rule if you can show proof of the following;

• Your (or your dependent’s) first and last name
