How to Benefit from the Government Program

By Henry Armors


There are many needy families which come under the poverty line and have a low family income. The US government provides free cell phones for these low-income groups under a government plan which is implemented by partnering with TracFone Wireless and SafeLInk Wireless. This program is done on such a vast scale that about 1,000,000 families from the lower income group stand to benefit from the government program.

The customer, if found eligible, gets a free cell phone and he is also provided 250 minutes of free talk time. For any other additional requirements, they can pay money and get the same. It is basically provided for a period of one year and reduces the burden of phone bills. This has come as a great boon for many families as they have been adversely affected due to the financial downturn.

One can apply for this free cell phone if he already receiving food stamps or if he comes under the category of Aid for Dependent children. Additionally, anyone who suffers from some form of disability is also able to receive the free cell phone. Families that come under the national average income are eligible too. Many states in the country are very vulnerably placed geographically and so the people belonging to such areas are also granted the right to apply for this government plan. Still other families are unfortunate enough to dislocate their residence due to no fault of their own or due to some war or a natural calamity. These homeless people can also avail of this free cell phone plan.

With the aid of these mobile phones, the applicant can look out for a good source of income and jobs and also keep in touch with his family if he is an aged person. Women who are abused can also turn to these free cell phones to provide them with the much needed help lines. The applicants can get their services renewed after the one year term or alternatively, if they choose to leave they may do so. In any case, they get to keep their free cell phones.

Those citizens who want to participate in this program and get free phones can apply either through the telephone or they can fill the application online. They need not travel to any specific place for doing so. However, only one phone is granted per family. All program details are provided in the US Government web site.
