Commissioner Gomez Supports Holding Lifeline Providers Accountable

For over four decades, the Lifeline program has helped Americans get online and stay online, and that support matters even more now, with rising prices, a country at war, and nearly half of Americans struggling to afford the cost of living. This enforcement action is a targeted and responsible step that holds the providers who committed fraud accountable while exposing the weaknesses in our own systems that made that fraud possible. To keep the credibility of our investigations and the public’s faith in government programs, we must pursue fraud and wrongdoing wherever the evidence leads, free from politics and without taking support away from the law-abiding families who rely on Lifeline.
