Arvig is committed to providing resources that make high-speed internet accessible to everyone. Part of that commitment includes participating in Lifeline Awareness Week to promote Lifeline Program discounts that help residents access broadband services.

Under the federal Lifeline Program, low-income residents who participate in certain public assistance programs, or qualify based on income, can receive a discount of up to $9.25 per month off their monthly broadband-qualifying service bill; up to $5.25 off their voice-qualifying service bill; and residents on Tribal lands can qualify for up to an additional $34.25 per month.

More information on program eligibility and rules are available at www.lifelinesupport.org.
