What this worksheet is for
Use this worksheet if someone else at your address gets Lifeline. The answers to these questions will help
you find out if there is more than one household at your address.
What is a household?
A household is a group of people who live together and share income and expenses (even if they are not
related to each other).

• An adult who lives with friends or family who financially support him/her are one household. They must
share one Lifeline benefit.
Examples of more than one household:
• 4 roommates who live together but do not share money are 4 households. They can have one Lifeline
benefit each, 4 total.
• 30 seniors who live in an assisted-living home are 30 households. They can have one Lifeline benefit each,
30 total.
Household expenses

Income
