I would like to get the word out there to ANY and ALL field agents working for any company that contracts with Lifeline to sign up people for a cell phone. If you are hired as a 1099 contractor, AND are forced to attend weekly meetings, forced to adhere to a weekly schedule, forced to man the tents, are given supplies by the company to do your job including clothing, ipad, tablet, etc, AND hate the fact that you are paying 100% of your FICA/SS taxes with NO workers' comp coverage, when the employer really should be paying:
They have hired you illegally unless you are able to make your own schedule, purchase your own supplies, and never, never are forced to man a tent or work a set schedule. GET YOUR MONEY BACK. File the IRS form and they will help you.
I called SafeLink to inform them that I had misplaced my government funded cellphone. The agent I spoke with said a replacement cellphone would be sent to me within 7-10 days, then the agent checked to see if my minutes had been used and since the minutes were there the agent said that He was taking care of what ever had to be done so that my remaining minutes would be transferred to my new phone. Once I received the cellphone I called SafeLink to get my old minutes, however I was told that my old minutes could not be replaced and I should read their policy on replacement phones. I feel this is very unfair because the agent that I spoke with the day I reported my cellphone missing verified the minutes were there and the agent told me that I would not lose them. Why should Safelink take my minutes? This is wrong!!!!!! SafeLink is taking advanage of the government and low-income families and that is a shame!
