Welcome to Kansas Lifeline Free Government Smartphones and Free Government Cell Phones Page!
Despite the Kansas unemployment rate being below 4%, which is one of the lowest numbers in over a decade, more than 382,000 people are officially considered poor. The annual income of these Kansans is below the poverty line specified in the Federal Poverty Guidelines. In reality, there are even more people in Kansas who are in urgent need of help. For this reason, the federal and state authorities offer a range of assistance programs. Low-income Americans can apply and receive various things at no cost, including food, energy, and free phones. The latter is available through Kansas Lifeline assistance.
