FCC Launches Benefit to Ensure Survivors of Domestic Violence Are Eligible for Lifeline Phone and Internet Discounts
During Digital Connectivity and Lifeline Awareness Week, the Federal Communications Commission announced the implementation of a key provision of the Safe Connections Act that will help survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and related crimes get discounted phone, internet, or bundled services through the FCC’s Lifeline program. Survivors can now make a request with their service provider to separate their mobile phone lines from family plans where the abuser is on the account.
