SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Lifeline program provides support for 
discounted broadband and voice services to low-income consumers. 
Lifeline is administered by the Universal Service Administrative 
Company (USAC) under FCC direction. Consumers qualify for Lifeline 
through proof of income or participation in a qualifying program, such 
as Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), 
Federal Public Housing Assistance, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), 
Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit, or various Tribal-specific 
federal assistance programs. In a Report and Order adopted on March 31, 
2016, the Commission ordered USAC to create a National Lifeline 
Eligibility Verifier (``National Verifier''), including the National 
Lifeline Eligibility Database (LED), that would match data about 
Lifeline applicants and subscribers with other data sources to verify 
the eligibility of an applicant or subscriber. The Commission found 
that the National Verifier would reduce compliance costs for Lifeline 
service providers, improve service for Lifeline subscribers, and reduce 
waste, fraud, and abuse in the program. The purpose of this particular 
program is to verify Lifeline eligibility by establishing that 
applicants or subscribers from Georgia and Iowa are enrolled in the 
SNAP program.

states, community-based organizations, USAC, and the Commission.'' 31 
FCC Rcd 3962, 4006, para. 126. To help determine whether Lifeline 
applicants and subscribers are eligible for Lifeline benefits, the 
Order contemplates that a USAC-operated Lifeline Eligibility Database 
(LED) will communicate with information systems and databases operated 
by other Federal and State agencies. Id. at 4011-2, paras. 135-7.
