The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) helps low-income households pay for broadband service and internet connected devices. This new benefit will connect eligible households to jobs, critical healthcare services, and virtual classrooms.

The Affordable Connectivity Program will provide a discount of up to $30 per month towards broadband service for eligible households.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is limited to one monthly service discount per household. A household is defined as any individual or group of individuals who are living together at the same address and share income and expenses—roommates are a household, a family living together are a household.

A household is eligible if one member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below:

• Based on your household income
• If you or your child or dependent participate in certain government assistance programs such as SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, or other programs
• If you or your child or dependent already receives a Lifeline benefit

Yes, give us a call to discuss your plan options and how the Affordable Connectivity Program can benefit you.

Yes. You can also combine these benefits with other state and local benefits where available. They can be applied to the same qualifying service or separately to a Lifeline service and an Affordable Connectivity Program service with the same or different providers. For example, an eligible household could have a Lifeline-supported mobile phone service and a separate home broadband service that is supported through the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Lifeline is the FCC’s program to help make communications services more affordable for low-income consumers. To participate in the Lifeline program, consumers must either have an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participate in certain federal assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, Supplemental Security Income, the Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefit, or certain Tribal Programs.
