Lifeline Assistance

About Lifeline

Eligible low-income customers can qualify for a discount on their local telephone and/or internet services. Lifeline is a federal government assistance program.

Through the Lifeline program, qualifying customers can receive a $9.25 monthly discount on internet service, or bundled internet and telephone service.

Qualifying for Lifeline

You can qualify for Lifeline if you use any of these federal assistance programs:

  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance
  • Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit

You may also qualify for Lifeline if your income is 135% or less than the federal poverty guidelines.

You will need to show proof of participation in one of the qualifying programs or proof of income when applying for lifeline.

Internet

The Lifeline discount is non-transferable and is limited to one discount per household. If someone at your address already receives lifeline but you are part of separate households (e.g., roommates with separate finances) you may still qualify for Lifeline. Complete the Household Worksheet or Household Worksheet - Spanish to determine if there is more than one household at your address.

To see if you qualify and enroll in the Lifeline program, contact us at 1-870-425-2141 or complete Lifeline Application and return it to one of our offices. You can learn more about the Lifeline program at LifelineSupport.org.

NEXT service has been life changing for me living in an area where no other internet service was available besides satellite, which was not ideal. I would not hesitate to get NEXT over any other provider and appreciate the support.

Love it! Once we were able to get it at our home we immediately got it. We haven’t had a problem at all. We can stream shows now, downloads are immediate, wifi signal reaches a long way. Customer Service is awesome and paying online is easy. Love the whole setup!

When I got tired of my internet going out all the time from a mail box going in 100 miles away I switched to Next and now my internet has been rock solid.

NEXT service is great! Had a glitch with the cable and called on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The service technician showed up within a few hours after the call and fixed our issue. 5 ⭐️
