Frequently Asked Questions
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a program newly created by Congress and managed by the FCC. It is designed to make the internet more affordable and replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBBP) on December 31, 2021. The ACP provides up to $30 per month toward a household’s internet bill, though households on Tribal land will be eligible for up to $75 per month.
Your household is eligible if you have an income at or below 200% of federal poverty guidelines.
OR if any member of your household:
- Qualifies for certain assistance programs, such as Medicaid, SNAP, federal public housing assistance, WIC, or Lifeline. If you are already enrolled in Lifeline, you automatically qualify for ACP.
- Receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision.
- Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year.
- Participates in Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR).
