Call to Action: Help low-income CA Lifeline subscribers keep benefits!
The importance of access to high quality wireless telecom and internet services has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic. These services are necessary for education, employment, paying bills, navigating healthcare, and paying taxes.
We believe the CPUC should be maximizing these services for low-income Californians, especially in these times of rising inflation that has eroded their wages. The CPUC is trying to restrict these subscribers from being able to combine their California LifeLine benefit with the ACP benefit.
