Free Government Phone Service
By stanpang
In order to qualify for free government phone service, you must already qualifying or be receiving other public assistant programs such as Food Stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), National Free School Lunch, or Federal Housing/Section 8 Assistance. If you are not in any of those programs, they you would have to qualify based on your household gross monthly income.
The amount of free airtime minutes depends on the state that you live. Generally it comes out to around 60 minutes. Unused minutes carry over to the next month. TracFone will provide you a free cell phone and do not have to return it even though you cancel the program. Every year you will have to establish your eligibility for free government phone service. If your household gross income goes above the eligibility requirements then you can not sign up for free phone service. Visit Safelink Wireless to fill out their application and verification forms online. You should be getting your free phone soon if everything checks out.
Everyone has a phone whether it is a cell phone or a landline phone. You just can not seem to be able to live without it unless you plan on cutting yourself off from the world. Many low income families can not afford phone service. Just paying their rent, food, and other basic necessities would tax their income. Having phone service would seem like the last thing on their list of things to have.
Living without phone service can be problematic and sometimes dangerous. For example, when you are applying for a job, companies usually ask for your phone number so that they can reach you. Without a phone number, they would not be able to contact you regarding whether or not to hire you. Another example of how important phones are is when you need to make an emergency call. You may be having a heart attack and need to call the ambulance. These are just some examples of why having a phone is so important.
In order to help people that are not able to pay for phone service, the government has supported a program which gives people free government phone service. The purpose of this program allows needy people to get free phone service. TracFone Wireless runs the Safelink Wireless program where they give a free cell phone with free airtime minutes to people.
