Who Qualifies
Have WIC? You May Qualify
WIC can be a strong sign that your household may meet Lifeline income guidelines. Lifeline eligibility is verified through approved program participation or household income, so TAG Mobile will help you check the path that applies to you.
You may qualify through:
Household income at or below Lifeline guidelines
SNAP (Food Stamps) / EBT
Medicaid
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Federal Public Housing Assistance (FPHA)
Veterans Pension or Survivors Benefit
WIC by itself may not automatically verify Lifeline eligibility in every state. You can still qualify by income or another accepted benefit. One Lifeline benefit per household; rules vary by state.
WIC households may qualify through income or another Lifeline eligible program.

Free Phone with WIC - FAQ
Can you get a free phone with WIC?
WIC households may qualify for Lifeline based on household income or another accepted benefit program. Enter your ZIP code to check the eligibility path available for your household.
Does WIC automatically qualify me for Lifeline?
Not always. Lifeline eligibility is verified through income guidelines or accepted benefit programs. WIC can indicate that your household may be income-eligible, but you may need to provide income proof or another qualifying document.
How do I apply for a free phone if I have WIC?
Enter your ZIP code, start your application, and provide the proof requested during eligibility verification. The application will guide you through income or benefit documentation.
What documents do I need?
You may be asked for proof of household income, proof from another accepted benefit program, a photo ID, or address verification. The exact documents depend on your state and application result.
What's included with the free plan?
Unlimited talk and text, up to 16GB of high-speed data each month, nationwide coverage on a major network, plus a free SIM and activation.
What phone will I get?
You'll receive a free 4G LTE Android smartphone. Model and availability vary by state and stock; upgrade options may be shown when you apply.
Does WIC give out free phones directly?
No. The phone and monthly service come through the Lifeline program and a participating provider like TAG Mobile. WIC may help show that your household could be eligible through income.
Can I get a free iPhone with WIC?
Every qualifying customer receives a free smartphone. Select iPhone models may be available as discounted upgrades depending on stock and your state.
How soon will my phone arrive?
Once approved, your free phone ships with free shipping in about 5-7 days. Delivery may take longer if additional verification is required.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. In most cases you can transfer your existing number to TAG Mobile for free during sign-up.
Can more than one person in my household get a free phone?
The Lifeline benefit is limited to one per household. If someone at your address already has Lifeline service, an additional line generally will not qualify.
Can parents and caregivers on WIC apply?
Yes. Adults in WIC households can apply if the household meets Lifeline income guidelines or qualifies through another accepted benefit program.
I already have a Lifeline phone. Can I switch to TAG Mobile?
Yes. The Lifeline benefit applies to one provider at a time, so switching transfers the benefit to TAG Mobile at no extra cost when available.
Is TAG Mobile available in my state?
TAG Mobile is licensed to provide Lifeline service in 29 states. Enter your ZIP code above to check availability in seconds.
Do I have to renew or recertify?
Yes. Lifeline requires annual recertification to confirm you still qualify. TAG Mobile will remind you when it is time.
