Low-Cost Internet as an Inflation Buffer

The Lifeline program helps eligible low-income families cut monthly expenses by:

  • Slashing internet bills by up to $9.25 per month

  • Offering $29.25 discounts on tribal lands

  • Ensuring SNAPMedicaid, or SSI recipients qualify automatically

When every dollar counts, cutting the cost of connectivity helps families reallocate funds toward food, rent, or gas.

Costs keep climbing, and tariffs add to the squeeze. But relief is still within reach—see what’s available to you today.

 

Local Support Amplifies Federal Relief

Some state and city programs go even further by partnering with internet providers to offer:

  • Additional subsidies for broadband

  • Hotspots and devices for households with students

  • Custom plans that bundle SNAP benefits with service discounts

 

Affordable Internet Is Economic Relief

In a time of rising prices and shrinking margins, programs like Lifeline offer more than access—they offer relief.

Staying connected can mean applying for work, accessing telehealth, or managing family finances—all without blowing your monthly budget.
