Affordable Connectivity Program

ACP Logo

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) offers eligible households up to $30/month for internet service (and $100 as a one-time discount for a device). 

 

Who is eligible for the ACP benefit?  

ACP eligibility is by household. A household can qualify in many different ways. A household is eligible if the household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, or if a member of the household meets other criteria like SNAP Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline.
