USAC obtains and retains the electronic or written consent of the FCB subscriber to collect, use, share, and retain the subscriber’s personal information (as entered directly by the subscriber through the National Verifier web-based portal or as provided by the subscriber on a written application for FCB benefits) to determine the subscriber’s eligibility for FCB program benefits, including disclosure to federal and state government agencies for eligibility verification assistance purposes. USAC and the FCC are authorized to receive enrollment information about SNAP and/or Medicaid beneficiaries for the purpose of determining subscribers’ eligibility for FCB benefits. Specifically, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has determined that SNAP state agencies may disclose certain SNAP recipient information to persons directly connected with the administration or enforcement of the Lifeline program (i.e., USAC) for the purpose of verifying whether an applicant consumer qualifies for the Lifeline program, and, by extension, the other FCB programs (Section 11(e)(8)(A) of the Food and Nutrition Act (7 U.S.C. § 2020(e)(8)(a))).
