Lifeline: Affordable Telephone Service
for Income-Eligible Subscribers
Lifeline is a government benefit program
that provides a discount on monthly telephone
service for eligible low-income subscribers . The
goal is to the nation’s communications networks,
find jobs, access health care services, connect
with family, their children’s schools and call for
help in an emergency. Lifeline is supported by the
federal Universal Service Fund (USF).
Lifeline provides a discount on monthly
telephone service (landline or wireless) for eligible
subscribers. This discount is currently set at
$9.25 per month. Federal rules prohibit eligible
low-income subscribers from receiving more than
ONE Lifeline service per household. “Household”
is defined as any individual or group of individuals
who live together at the same address as one
economic unit. An “economic unit” is defined as
“all adult individuals contributing to and sharing in
the income and expenses of a household.”
However, Lifeline support is available to eligible
low-income subscribers living in group living
facilities. Lifeline applicants may demonstrate
when initially enrolling in the program that any
other Lifeline recipients residing at their
residential address are part of a separate
household by completing the one-per-household
worksheet.
The Lifeline program is available to eligible
low-income subscribers in every state, territory,
commonwealth and on Tribal lands. You must be
eligible to enroll. To participate in the program,
subscribers must either have an income that is at
or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
or participate in one of the following assistance
programs:
· Medicaid
· Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(Food Stamps or SNAP)
· Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
· Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8)
· Low-Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP)
· Temporary Assistance to Needy Families
· National School Lunch Program’s Free Lunch
Program
· Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance
· Tribally-Administered Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TTANF)
· Food Distribution Program on Indian
Reservations (FDPIR)
· Head Start (if income eligibility criteria are
met); or State assistance programs
(if applicable)
You do have to verify your eligibility
yearly. If you receive Lifeline for free, you must
use your service every 60 days in order to
maintain the benefit.
To find out more information about
eligibility and how to apply for Lifeline benefits,
visit www.lifelinesupport.org or call USAC’s
toll-free number, 1-888-641-8722. You may also
call the FCC’s toll-free customer service number,
1-888-CALL-FCC.

Seniors and their families lose billions of dollars each year to heartless fraudsters.
To understand how Beth Baker, an
independent, generally robust 87 year-old, got
taken for $65,000 in less than one week last
year, it’s important to know about her grandson,
Will. Baker, a retired second-grade teacher
living in National City, California, beams when
she speaks of the 24 year-old, the eldest of her
five grandkids. As a high school football player
and later a U.S. Coast Guard Academy
graduate, Will made his grandmother terribly
proud. When, late last year, Will’s wife delivered
Baker’s first great-grandchild, Baker was
overjoyed. “Will is precious to me,” Baker says.
So when a man phoned one morning last
December from an unfamiliar number, the news
he delivered hit her like a sledgehammer.
“He said my grandson was in Peru and was in
trouble there,” Baker recalls. Then he put
another man briefly on the line. Thinking it
sounded like Will, Baker anxiously said into the
phone, ‘Will?’”
What Baker unwittingly did was provide the
caller with her grandson’s actual name, which
was swiftly woven into a story. The caller said
that Will had been a guest at a wedding in
Peru. While driving, he injured a 7 year-old
pedestrian. Then a caller claiming to be Will’s
lawyer got on the line and said Will was in jail
and needed money at once; there was not time
to think or question. “And he said if I shared this
story with anyone, there’d be trouble for my
grandson,’ Baker recalls.
Baker hadn’t seen Will for a while, but the tale
seemed plausible to her.
So, shaken and scared, she followed the
caller’s instructions without verifying the story
with anyone in her family. She hung up, drove to
her bank, withdrew $5,000 from savings, and
bought ten $500 Green Dot MoneyPak cards at a
CVS and a Ralph’s supermarket. The contact
called back as promised, and Baker scratched
the card backs and read him the numbers
beneath. That was all he needed to get an
almost untraceable $5,000 payment, ostensibly
for Will’s legal fees.
The man called soon after to say the injured
child had died. Will needed more money to avoid
10 to 20 years in prison. Again, the caller
stressed urgency and secrecy. At his prompting
Baker withdrew $11,000, bought more MoneyPak cards, and waited for her phone to ring.
It did ring – again and again – each call
detailing a new twist on Will’s story and yet
another demand. Over five days Baker purchased 101 MoneyPak cards and sent $65,000 –
almost all of her liquid savings.
Baker hardly slept. She was shaky and
nervous. She skipped a visit to her husband, in
nursing care at a home for veterans. She lied to
her son, Jim – Will’s father – about her
activities. Once during a visit, Jim noticed that
her thumbnail tip was black. He didn’t ask why
for fear of embarrassing her. In retrospect, he
says, he realized that “it was from scratching off
all those Green Dot cards.”
When Baker applied at her local bank for a
$14,000 loan against her paid-off home, she
attracted the attention of a manager. With patient
prompting, Baker finally confessed. The banker
told her she was being scammed. They called
Jim to confirm that Will was safe. “I was so
relieved,” Baker recalls.
Jim Baker reported the crime to the San Diego
County district attorney’s Elder Abuse Unit
and fired off an angry letter to Green Dot. He
remembers the incident with bitterness. “It made
my mother question her own sanity and worth,”
he says. “At her age that’s hard to get back.”
Baker’s story may sound unbelievable. You 99
may tell yourself it could never happen to you or
anyone in your family. But don’t be so sure.
Financial elder abuse – broadly defined as the
illegal or improper use of funds, property or
assets of people 60 and older by family, friends,
neighbors and strangers – is rising fast.
The Federal Trade Commission says that
fraud complaints to its office by individuals 60
and older rose at least 47% between 2012 and
2014. Seniors are the predominant victims of
imposter schemes, in which criminals pose as
government officials or other authority. Criminals
take pains to identify older people. A clever
scammer who gets a senior on the phone will
quickly tease out personal information.
“It’s a low risk occupation,” says Jane Walsh,
director of the Community Protection Division at
the Boulder County district attorney’s office in
Colorado. “Why would someone rob a bank
when they can sit at home with a phone and call
a bunch of seniors?”

10 Things I Learned
From Caring For My
Dying Mother
3.
People are good. So many friends and 15
9
relatives stepped up to help. Don’t be afraid to
ask for help as well. Keep a strong circle of love
around you. It’s what keeps you going.
4.
Hold on to memories. They are a gift so
precious that you will cherish them forever.
5. Ask questions while you can. Make a list of
questions for your loved one, write down the
answers. This is your family history. Chronicle it
while you can.
6.
Laugh…a lot. Tell stories or bring out old
photos. Just remember that to laugh isn’t to
disrespect the situation, laughter helps us all get
through.
7.
Share. Share feelings, stories, recipes, responsibilities, tasks and hugs. Whatever love can
be exchanged, exchange it.
8. Be kind. To yourself, your patient, your loved
ones and all those around you. Remember you
are all in this together and everyone processes
fear, sadness and grief differently. Don’t lose
sight of goodness.
9.
Keep an open line of communication with
nurses and doctors. Coordinate with nurses,
keep doctors in the loop and up on all communications and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Be
prepared for every milestone. Know ahead of
time what to expect and what to do.
10. Love. Above all, keep love in your heart
throughout the process. Love is contagious and
is its own antidote.
Parent/Child caregiving begins in the
womb. A mother gently strokes her own belly to
soothe her baby’s restlessness, watching, what
she eats and staying away from anything that
might harm her child. When the baby is born, it’s
a 24/7 vigil of care—swaddling, diapering,
anticipating cries and deciphering what they
mean, feeding, cleaning, keeping their child
comfortable, happy and healthy.
Parenting doesn’t stop when the child is
able to care for themselves. As my mom once
told me, “I’m going to worry about you and take
care of you until the day I die, so get used to
it!” And she did. Until she couldn’t care for me
any longer and the tables came to an abrupt
Article taken from the Huffington Post
turn.
The day the roles reverse is foreign. It’s a
clumsy dance of love and responsibility, not S L K R A L C K C I D S G I
wanting to cross any lines of respect. It’s S D R O C E R S O C K H O P
honoring this person who gave their life to you—
not to mention literally gave you life—and taking E S D O R T O H R A D I O W
their fragile body in your hands like a newborn, M A R I L Y N M O N R O E C
tending to their every need.
I learned a lot while going through this X L P G I J S C I U W J I M
process, including a lot about myself. Perhaps D S L B J O A E O X A V H P
some of what I learned can help you through
K N N O V U V M N L I D O G
your personal journey:
O A A T R I K S E L D O O P
1. When the going gets tough, you will get going. No job is too dirty, personal or embarrassing. R E C T R N K E R S H W S X
You never think twice about the tasks at hand, E J I D S Y K I B A D H A K
you just lovingly carry them out, no questions
asked. Don’t be afraid. When you love someone, A E R E I D G C L O S E R R
caregiving comes naturally.
N U E S D H N U O E X I A K
2. No one wants to be a burden. Especially our
parents. When you feel frustrated, walk away. W L M Z T G H A E R L B V N
Don’t let your loved one feel your frustration A B A S I B O B B Y S O X L
because, through this entire process, they’re
R R O I L O V E L U C Y P Q
burdened with enough frustration of their own.

Dear Friends of the Commission on Aging,
I'm happy, and sad, to announce my retirement from the
Commission on Aging. Yes, it's for real this time. My last day was
December 30, 2015. I'm privileged to have known so many of
you and will miss you all. You'll be in good hands with the
Commission on Aging Board, and I'm confident that our staff will
continue to take great care of you. Have a very Happy New Year
and a great 2016.
Sincerely,
Georgia Durga,
