One of the criteria to remain enrolled in the Lifeline program is to recertify your account.
Once a year, you will receive a mail to recertify your Lifeline program eligibility. The mail does come with a deadline to complete the process.
How you complete the recertification process for Assurance Wireless will depend on your location. The process for people in California is different from that of people in other states.
In summary, you can complete the process online, via call, or mail the form to a stipulated address.
This post will serve as a guide on how to complete the recertification process on Assurance Wireless.
How Does Assurance Wireless Recertification Work?
The purpose of the recertification process is to verify that you still qualify for the Lifeline program.
There were some criteria you had to meet to qualify for the Lifeline program via Assurance Wireless. After one year, your account is accessed to make sure you still qualify to remain in the program.
The recertification makes you eligible to remain in the program for one year, after which you have to repeat the recertification process.
So, once a year, you will receive a mail to your address to recertify your eligibility for the program.
