--------------------------------------
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.
