How to apply to Access Wireless
- Confirm you qualify. Access Wireless cannot enroll you until USAC's National Verifier has approved your household, through a benefit program or on income.
- Check it serves your ZIP. Being approved in your state is not the same as covering your address — Access Wireless is licensed in 37 states but 24,828 ZIP codes, not all of them.
- Apply at the National Verifier at lifelinesupport.org, or let Access Wireless submit it during signup.
- Enroll and recertify. Lifeline requires annual recertification, and the benefit stops if you miss it.
