How to apply to TruConnect

  1. Confirm you qualify. TruConnect cannot enroll you until USAC's National Verifier has approved your household, through a benefit program or on income.
  2. Check it serves your ZIP. Being approved in your state is not the same as covering your address — TruConnect is licensed in 44 states but 34,113 ZIP codes, not all of them.
  3. Apply at the National Verifier at lifelinesupport.org, or let TruConnect submit it during signup.
  4. Enroll and recertify. Lifeline requires annual recertification, and the benefit stops if you miss it.
