Federal Law and state lawmakers believe that every person in America should have access to quality, affordable telecommunications service. In fact, they've created a system to do just that.

If you participate in programs such as food stamps, Medicaid, the national free-lunch program, Section 8 housing or supplemental security income, or if your household income is below a certain threshold level, you may qualify for a discount on your telephone bill.

This "Universal Service" support includes:

- Lifeline assistance that provides discounts for basic monthly local service
- Link Up that reduces the cost of initiating new telephone service
- Toll Limitation Service that allows you to control your long-distance charges
- Additional discounts for eligible consumers living on tribal lands
