Landline telephone payment assistance available
GENESEE COUNTY
— The Federal Communications Commission, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners and the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates have designated September 13-19, 2010 as “National Telephone Discount Lifeline Awareness Week.”
The designation is an effort to raise awareness of landline telephone payment assistance available to qualifying low-income Michigan residents as part of two federal support programs.
These programs, “Lifeline Assistance” and “Link-Up,” are available through Frontier Communications (NYSE:FTR).
“Lifeline” is a plan that assists qualified lowincome customers by providing a monthly credit on their telephone bill.
“Link-Up” is an assistance plan that helps qualified low-income customers pay for the installation of basic telephone service by reducing connection charges by 50 percent, or $30, whichever is less.
Michigan residents who participate in one or more of the following programs are eligible for telephone assistance: Medicaid; Food Stamps; Supplemental Security Income (SSI); Federal Public Housing Assistance; Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP); Temporary Assistance to Needy Families Program (TANF); and National School Lunch Program (NSL).
