Hi Jose,
If you go to www.verizon.com/lifeline and click on your state, the application will pop up, you fill it out and print it to mail it in
Super easy 🙂

First, you must have landline phone number, then download the applaction form , fax or mail it to Verizon. it is discount for LANDLINE PHONE ONLY. but if you have the pkg plan or FiOs triple plan . I do not know how to do it, call C/S , before to take action.
Filling out application is a piece of cake. My mom had lifeline for two years and had no problem with the application approval. This year, Verizon kept rejecting the aplications claiming that she was not approve because they couldn't verify the date of birth and social security number. She had to re-do the application and sent in copy of social security card which people said you're not suppose to disclose it. Even doctor's office are not collecting social security number. My mom sent in copy of her medicaid card which has her date of birth on it. It is also a government card and prove that she qualifies for lifeline. Verizon still rejected the application. It has been a three months battle and each time it took them 6 to 8 weeks to process the new application. She had to pay full price in the mean time. This month, they are still saying the same thing: need prove of birth with birth certificate. My mom was born outside of the U.S. They did not have birth certificate back then. Why did the medicaid card worked before for the DOB before and not now? She has had it with Verizon and is going to cancel the service.
