WHAT IS ACP?

The Affordable Connectivity Program is a Federal Communications Commission benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare, and more. The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
 

Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.

Eligibility for the Affordable Connectivity Program requires a household income at or below 200% of the Federal Low-Income Guidelines or meeting at least one of the following criteria:
 

• Receipt of a Federal Pell Grant in the current award year.

• Qualification for a participating provider's low-income internet program.

• Participation in federal assistance programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, Veterans Pension or Survivor Benefits, Lifeline, or specific programs for residents on qualifying Tribal lands.
