Rule status (federal route): in force: Lifeline provides up to $9.25/month, or $34.25/month on qualifying Tribal lands, at or below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines or through programme eligibility; recertification is annual and the National Verifier notifies subscribers about 90 days before the anniversary date. The ACP ended in June 2024 with no federal successor of the same scale.

This tool reduces uncertainty; it does not replace a bank's fraud department, a mental-health professional, legal advice, a school privacy contact, or qualified technical help, and it cannot prove that a call, message, account, decision, or AI system is safe.
