Pinterest This program gives you a set amount of money called a voucher to buy special equipment to help you use the telephone. The voucher amount will depend on your level of disability. The program can provide equipment such as:
- Phones that let you increase the call volume
- A loud bell ringer
- A remote control speaker phone
- A phone with a screen to read your conversation
- A teletypewriter
A teletypewriter is a machine you connect to your telephone. It lets you type a message to an operator who will read it to the person you are calling.
You will have to pay $100 when you order your equipment, but you can get help paying the $100 if you apply for the Telecommunications Assistance Program.
How do I apply?
To apply for this program, use the online application or print and fill out a paper application. You can also call your local office.
