Lifeline
is a program that the Colorado Department of Human Services provides eligibility verification to telecommunication agencies only. LITAP is only available from the participating local telephone company that provides service in your area if your existing telephone company participates in the program and if you currently are active in one or more of the following state programs:
- Old Age Pension benefits (OAP)
- Aid to the Needy Disabled (AND)
- Aid to the Blind (AB)
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Colorado Works/Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)
- Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP)
If you are not on one of the above programs you will not qualify for the telephone discount. Participation in a Federal program alone, such as Social Security, does not make you eligible for Lifeline. Please ask your telecommunications provider if they participate in the telephone discount program before you contact the number below. Not all telecommunications providers will offer the telephone discount.
If you have a cell phone for your primary phone service, check with your provider to see if they participate in the telephone assistance program.
Or call toll-free 1-800-782-0721.
If you have questions about the Lifeline program, please send an email to leap.program@state.co.us
