How to Qualify for Assurance Wireless, a Lifeline Assistance program

What a great program!
It is now 250 Free minutes and 250 Free texts.
It is just one per household but what a difference that can make. The income eligibility for the phones (or programs you must be on to qualify) means there is often not room for any phone in your budget without being deprived of a necessity.

I hope those not on programs (where workers are to inform you of program) know about this. I know many surviving on unemployment or had it run out could really benefit. Finding work without a phone? Or just the isolation for some could be very hard, let alone access in emergencies.

Really a good program to learn about.
So thanks rush, may some be helped because you are an asshole.
