No Lifeline for Dead People Act

This bill would require phone and internet companies that offer Lifeline service to use the federal National Verifier system to confirm a customer is eligible before providing the service. Lifeline is a federal program that provides discounted phone or broadband internet service to qualifying consumers. The bill would end the ability of carriers in certain states to rely on state eligibility processes instead of the National Verifier. It defines the carriers, the Lifeline service, and the National Verifier by reference to existing federal law and regulations.
