Lifeline Assistance Program

Lifeline is a Federal program that helps qualified individuals lower their monthly cost of phone or internet service.  

You can apply your monthly Lifeline discount to either your phone or Internet service but not both.

Eligible customers will receive a credit on their Central Scott Telephone bill.
