No Lifeline for the Dead Act

Summary

The bill orders the FCC to issue new rules for the Lifeline program that must use a national eligibility verifier and accountability database, with no option for states to opt out. It also mandates re‑checking eligibility for anyone previously approved without those tools and restricts eligibility to U.S. citizens or qualified aliens who provide a Social Security number or tribal ID. The goal is to ensure assistance goes only to verified, eligible consumers.
