Editorial

Corrections Policy

We want factual errors to be easy to report and straightforward to correct. This policy avoids promising artificial response times and focuses on verifying the underlying source.

1. What counts as a correction

Examples include an incorrect Lifeline eligibility rule, wrong benefit amount, outdated provider term, inaccurate iPhone specification, incorrect agency link, or a statement that presents a variable phone offer as guaranteed.

2. How to report an error

Email editorial@lifelinefreeiphone.com with the URL, the text you believe is incorrect and, when possible, a link to the primary source that supports the correction.

3. How we verify a correction

We compare the claim with the source that controls it. Federal Lifeline issues are checked against USAC/FCC; state-program issues against the responsible state agency; device specifications against Apple; and current provider offers against the provider's own terms or live offer.

4. How corrected content is handled

Confirmed factual errors should be corrected in the page copy and related structured data. Where a change is material to the reader's decision, the page should make the updated wording clear and refresh its review or modification date as appropriate.

5. Retractions or consolidation

If a page is fundamentally duplicative, misleading or no longer useful as a standalone result, it may be consolidated into a stronger page with an appropriate redirect rather than kept online only to preserve a keyword-targeted URL.
