IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE LIFELINE PROGRAM: Assurance Wireless is a Lifeline supported service. Lifeline is a federal benefit, and only eligible
subscribers may enroll. Customers who willfully make false statements in order to obtain the benefit can be punished by fine or imprisonment or can be de-enrolled
or barred from the program. One Lifeline discounted service (landline or wireless) is available per household. A household is one or more individuals who live
together at the same address and share income and expenses. A household is not permitted to receive Lifeline benefits from multiple providers. Violation of the one-
per-household rule constitutes a violation of federal rules and will result in de-enrollment from the Lifeline program and potential prosecution by the United States
government. Lifeline is a non-transferable benefit. Service cannot be transferred to any individual, including another eligible, low income consumer.
