California Public Utilities Commission Seeks Reconsideration of FCC Lifeline Decision
On November 20, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission issued Order DA 25-965 (Order) revoking California’s long-standing waiver related to the use of the National Lifeline Accountability Database (NLAD) and federal eligibility determinations. We respectfully request that the FCC reconsider the Order. California’s enrollment and eligibility process fully meets the federal rules requiring a Social Security Number (SSN) of all applicants participating in the federal program.
