Affordable Landline Service

Kansans who receive Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, public housing or other kinds of government benefits may be eligible for the state’s Lifeline program, which makes it more affordable to have a landline telephone. Savings can be as much as $17.02 a month.

AARP Kansas is spreading the word about the program so that more people on fixed incomes can have a phone.

For details or to apply, call your local phone company, go to kcc.ks.gov/pi/lifeline.htm or call the Kansas Corporation Commission at 785-271-3100.
