FAQs

• Why can I not apply for the Affordable Connectivity Program after February 7, 2024? -Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program will not be able to accept new applications after February 7, 2024.
• When will my ACP benefit end? - If you were receiving the ACP benefit prior to February 7, 2024, then you will continue to receive your benefit through the end of the program, if you stay enrolled. Funding for the program is projected to run through April 2024. This date is an estimate and may change. Once the program ends, households will no longer receive the ACP discount on their monthly internet bill. It is anticipated that the FCC will announce the end date for the ACP in the coming weeks.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford their broadband internet. It is part of the bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Your household may be eligible to receive a monthly discount on a new or existing internet service plan.

If your household is eligible, you could receive:

• Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
• Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
• A one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer from participating providers (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
• A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*
  • *More details at www.affordableconnectivity.gov

The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. The Affordable Connectivity Program replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit on December 31, 2021.
