Verizon offers flexible payment arrangements for Federal workers, military, first responders

NEW YORK – Starting today, members of the U.S. Military, Coast Guard, first responders and other federal government employees affected by the shutdown and who require more time to pay their Verizon bill are invited to call the company and ask for payment deferral options.  

“Verizon is dedicated to supporting our customers and the communities we serve. We understand the ongoing federal government shutdown may create financial difficulties for members of the U.S. Military, Coast Guard, federal employees and first responders,” said Dan Schulman, Verizon CEO.  “If federal employees need relief during the shutdown, they can reach out to us and we will keep them connected.”  

Federal employees in need of assistance are invited to call us at 1-800-Verizon and will need to provide verification of their federal or military employment. 

As always, Verizon also offers payment arrangements to any customer in need of help based on eligibility requirements.
