Lifeline (FCC) Program History
Lifeline Began To Provide Discounted Phone Service

The FCC established the Lifeline Program in 1984 during the Ronald Reagan Administration to provide qualified individuals with discounts on phone service. The FCC worked with state governments and local phone companies to come up with this plan. Under the original Lifeline program, those who qualified received a discount on their monthly phone bill. In 1985, the FCC re-established the Lifeline program to further reduce qualifying households’ phone bills. The FCC adopted another program, known as Link Up America, in 1987. This program was set up in order to help qualifying households afford connection and installation fees for landline phone service.
Program Advancements To Streamline Lifeline’s Growth

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 led to the creation of the Universal Service Fund (USF), which all telecommunications carriers are required to contribute to. The Lifeline program is one of four programs covered by the USF. In 1997, the FCC tasked an independent non-profit organization called the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) with managing the USF and collecting contributions from telecommunications carriers.
