Lifeline telephone bill assistance available
If you're having a hard time paying your bills and qualify for assistance such as food stamps, then the Lifeline telephone program might help you stay connected.
In Maryland, low-income households that receive food stamps, supplemental security income (SSI), energy assistance or other subsidies can also get discounted, affordable telephone service and installation through the Lifeline and Life Up programs.
Through the programs, partially supported by federal money, eligible consumers can pay only 66 cents for their basic monthly telephone bill, which would include 30 phone calls.
Have more questions about this program?
You can call Verizon at 800-525-0145 for more details. Today (Wednesday) staff from the state Public Service Commission and Verizon will be available from noon to 2 p.m. at Stadium Place, 1030 E. 33rd St. to encourage people to sign up.
