CenturyLink participates in a government benefit

A household is defined for the purposes of the
Lifeline program as any individual or group of

and share income and expenses. Lifeline service is

enroll in the program. Consumers who willfully
make false statements in order to obtain Lifeline
telephone or broadband service can be punished
by fine or imprisonment and can be barred from
the program.
