Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 193 / Friday, October 8, 2021 / Notices
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 EBBP. The purpose of this matching program is to verify the eligibility of EBBP applicants and subscribers by determining whether they receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP benefits administered by the North Carolina Department. Under FCC rules, consumers receiving these benefits qualify for Lifeline discounts and also for EBBP benefits.
