Enrolled in Medicaid? You may qualify for free wireless service through the federal Lifeline program and Assurance Wireless. Medicaid is one of the qualifying programs. You still need to prove your enrollment, and offers are available in selected areas.

Medicaid is a qualifying program

The Lifeline program lets you qualify either by household income or by participation in a qualifying program. Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California) is on that list, along with State-Funded Healthcare Programs. If you're a Medicaid member, you may meet the eligibility requirement — you need to prove your enrollment.

What free wireless service includes

The Lifeline program is a federal benefit. Through Assurance Wireless, eligible customers can get:

Proof of Medicaid you'll need

Have one of these ready: your Medicaid eligibility/approval letter, a benefit statement, or a current card or document showing your name and that you're actively enrolled.

Apply

Confirm you're enrolled in Medicaid, gather your proof, and submit your application on the official partner page. Offers are available to eligible customers residing in selected areas and may vary by state. One benefit per household. The benefit is non-transferable.
