The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility of applicants to and subscribers of Lifeline, and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), both of which are administered by USAC under the direction of the FCC. More information about these programs is provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. DATES: Written comments are due on or before January 3, 2023.

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 the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116–260, 134 Stat. 1182, 2129–36 (2020), Congress created the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program, and directed use of the National Verifier to determine eligibility based on various criteria, including the qualifications for Lifeline (Medicaid, SNAP, etc.).

In a Report and Order adopted on March 31, 2016, (81 FR 33026, May 24, 2016) (2016 Lifeline Modernization Order), 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 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the FCC to leverage the National Verifier to verify applicants’ eligibility for ACP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility of Lifeline and ACP applicants and subscribers by determining whether they receive SNAP and Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF) benefits administered by the Arizona Department of Economic Security.

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 the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, Public Law 116-260, 
134 Stat. 1182, 2129-36 (2020), Congress created the Emergency 
Broadband Benefit Program, and directed use of the National Verifier to 
determine eligibility based on various criteria, including the 
qualifications for Lifeline (Medicaid, SNAP, etc.). EBBP provided $3.2 
billion

in monthly consumer discounts for broadband service and one-time 
provider reimbursement for a connected device (laptop, desktop computer 
or tablet). In the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub. L. 117-
58, 135 Stat. 429, 1238-44 (2021) (codified at 47 U.S.C. 1751-52), 
Congress modified and extended EBBP, provided an additional $14.2 
billion, and renamed it the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). A 
household may qualify for the ACP benefit under various criteria, 
including an individual qualifying for the FCC's Lifeline program.
    In a Report and Order adopted on March 31, 2016, (81 FR 33026, May 
24, 2016) (2016 Lifeline Modernization Order), 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 Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 directs the FCC to 
leverage the National Verifier to verify applicants' eligibility for 
ACP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility 
of Lifeline and ACP applicants and subscribers by determining whether 
they receive SNAP and Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families 
(Tribal TANF) benefits administered by the Arizona Department of 
Economic Security.
    Participating Agencies: Arizona Department of Economic Security.

U.S.C. 254; 47 CFR 54.400 through 54.423; Lifeline and Link Up Reform 
and Modernization, et al., Third Report and Order, Further Report and 
Order, and Order on Reconsideration, 31 FCC Rcd 3962, 4006-21, paras. 
126-66 (2016) (2016 Lifeline Modernization Order).
    Purpose(s): The purpose of this modified matching agreement is to 
verify the eligibility of applicants and subscribers to Lifeline, as 
well as to ACP and other Federal programs that use qualification for 
Lifeline as an eligibility criterion. This new agreement will permit 
eligibility verification for the Lifeline program and ACP by checking 
an applicant's/subscriber's participation in SNAP and Tribal TANF in 
Arizona. Under FCC rules, consumers receiving these benefits qualify 
for Lifeline discounts and also for ACP benefits.
    Categories of Individuals: The categories of individuals whose 
information is involved in the matching program include, but are not 
limited to, those individuals who have applied for Lifeline and/or ACP 
benefits; are currently receiving Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are 
individuals who enable another individual in their household to qualify 
for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; are minors whose status qualifies a 
parent or guardian for Lifeline and/or ACP benefits; or are individuals
