Eligible low-income households may receive financial help with the cost of phone installation and basic local phone service. The lifeline program provides a monthly discount off the cost of basic local phone service. The link-up program provides assistance in the connection charges for phone service.
Customers are eligible if they are certified for eligibility by the Colorado Department of Human Services. Applicants are eligible for this program if they have a monthly household gross income at or below one hundred eighty-five percent of the federal poverty level.

The Department of Human Services will periodically recertify an individual’s eligibility to receive Low-Income Telephone Assistance. Here is a link to the Colorado agency on Lifeline certification.
