If You’re Having Trouble Paying Your bill:

You may be eligible for assistance. Minnesota’s Telephone Assistance Plan (TAP) offers a monthly credit on your landline telephone service.

Minnesota’s Telephone Assistance Plan (TAP) and Federal Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) offer monthly discounts on landline telephone and broadband internet service.

Who Is Eligible?

There are income guidelines for the programs. Your income must be at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines. If you are enrolled in Lifeline, you qualify for TAP. You qualify if you are in one of these qualifying programs; Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SNAP or food stamps, SSI, Veterans Pension or Survivors Pension Benefit. Telephone service must be in your name to qualify for the credit. There are additional qualifying programs for people who live on a reservation. 

If you are enrolled in Medicaid or Federal Public Housing Assistance you will be automatically enrolled in Lifeline each year. If you are enrolled in the other programs or qualify because of your income, USAC will send you a form to recertify to keep Lifeline. If you are enrolled in Lifeline, you will remain enrolled in TAP and do not need to reapply to TAP.
