Does Verizon Offer a Military Discount?

✦ Edited and fact-checked by Logan Jones, our Staff Writer with over 3 years covering internet providers and streaming services.

Status: Verified 8/28/26

Yes, and it stacks across your Fios and wireless bills

Verizon backs its military appreciation program with two separate discounts for Fios Internet and Verizon Wireless, both unlocked with a single ID.me verification. That commitment lines up with Verizon Fios’s run as one of the best internet providers overall for 2026, a title it’s holding onto even as it folds newly acquired Frontier fiber routes into its network.

Active-duty service members, veterans, current and former Guard and Reserve members, and Gold Star families all qualify, and that same verification unlocks discounts off accessories online, too.

If Verizon’s setup isn’t the right fit, our military and veteran discounts guide rounds up comparable offers from every major internet, TV, and streaming provider in one place.

How do I sign up for a Verizon military discount?

Head to Verizon’s military discount page and verify your status through ID.me — the whole process takes just a few minutes online. Once you’re verified, the discount typically appears on your bill within one to two billing cycles, and you won’t need to re-verify every year.

  1. Visit Verizon’s military discount page and select “Check eligibility” or “Order now,” depending on the service you want.
  2. Complete identity verification through ID.me using a valid military ID, DD214, or similar documentation.
  3. Confirm which Fios internet plan or wireless line(s) you want the discount applied to.
  4. Watch for a confirmation email, then check your next one to two bills to see the discount reflected.
  5. If the discount doesn’t appear as expected, contact Verizon support or check the Fios military discount FAQ for troubleshooting steps.

Verizon military discount FAQ

Who qualifies for Verizon's military discount?

Active-duty military, veterans, retirees, current and former National Guard and Reserve members, and Gold Star family members are all eligible, and verification happens once through ID.me.

How much does Verizon's military discount save you?

Verizon's military discount can save you up to $15 per month on Fios Internet, and 10% off each month with a qualifying wireless plan.

Can I combine the military discount with other Verizon offers?

Generally no — the military discount can't stack with other account-level offers like Verizon's teacher or loyalty discounts, though it can apply to both a Fios plan and a wireless line at the same time.

Does the Verizon military discount expire or need annual renewal?

No, it's typically a one-time verification that holds for as long as you're a customer.
