Seniors can get them if they meet *any* of the criteria:

To participate in the program, consumers must either have an income that is
at or below 135% of the federal Poverty Guidelines or participate in one of
the following assistance programs

	It's a shame welfare people can get free phones, but seniors with
low, fixed
	incomes, can't get them.
