LifeLine renewal change at W.S. Telecom
The War m Springs
Telecom Lifeline program
offers a discounted tele-
phone and broadband ser-
vice to community members
who are eligible. On the res-
ervation about 300 custom-
ers use the Lifeline program,
receiving telephone service
for free. Or there is a dis-
count for those who sub-
scribe to a phone and
Internet.
Lifeline is a federal pro-
gram administered on the
reservation by the Warm
Springs Telecom.
During the first years of
the program, the subscrib-
ers to Lifeline had to renew
one time per year, everyone
at the same time.
An important change this
year is the change to a re-
newal based on the month
when the person qualified
and subscribed.
Telecom sent notice of
this change to the subscrib-
ers, but some may not have
noticed the change in re-
newal scheduling because
they are used the previous
system, said Danica Greene,
Telecom customer service
manager.
The change was a federal
requirement, she said. A
person who misses the re-
newal has to go through the
whole process of reapplying,
involving documentation of
income, residence, etc. The
renewal process is much
easier, Danica said.
Some customers who
have missed their renewal
only discovered the omission
when they received their
first phone or phone-
Internet bill following the
lapse of their Lifeline sub-
scription.
Because of federal regu-
lation, once there is a lapse
in renewal and increase in
the bill, there can be no re-
fund, even if the person re-
applies and qualifies again
for Lifeline. If you have any
questions, please call Danica
at 541-553-0555. Or email:
