NOTICE FROM T-Mobile
This notice is being sent to you because you have a free or discounted cellphone from T-Mobile .
To keep your Lifeline cellphone service, you need to recertify every year annually. This means you need to show that you still qualify. This notice may reach you after your recertification date. Some people are automatically updated in the national database. If you are not updated automatically, a form will be sent to your home from the organization, USAC. Be on the lookout for mail from USAC. Fill out the form, attach proof that you still qualify, and return it within 60 days. Proof can be something that shows your income or that you are enrolled in a government program. If you don’t do this, you will be taken off the Lifeline program and may lose your cellphone service.
