How to Qualify for a Free iPhone 13 Government Phone?

As I qualified on a low-income basis, you may qualify if you have a low income or participate in government assistance programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, etc.

You also need to make sure you have sufficient documents proving your age, permanent residency, and eligibility documents.

After that, you will need to get a approval from National verifier, and only then you will qualify for a free government iPhone 13.

Eligibility Criteria to Get Free Government iPhone 13

After reading so much about the eligibility below 135% federal poverty guidelines and participation in government assistance programs, you must be wondering what those are and how you can check If you are eligible.

Believe me, I was also confused about that section, but worry not, I’ve simplified both things for you.

Let’s talk about both eligibility criteria you must meet to receive a free government iPhone 13.

Income Eligibility

For Lifeline, your annual household income must be below 135% of the federal poverty guidelines, and for the ACP program, it is 200% of the Federal poverty guidelines.

Now, you must be wondering how you can check whether your annual income is below the federal poverty guidelines or not.

Here is a table that I use to determine my low income. I hope it will clear your doubts.
