The Affordable Connectivity Program is a Federal Communications Commission program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides a discount up to:
- $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households
- $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands
Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 toward purchasing a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. To qualify for this one-time discount, households must contribute more than $10 and less than $50 towards the purchase price.
A household is eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program if the household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or if a member of the household participates in one of these assistance programs:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
- Medicaid
- Federal Public Housing Assistance
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)
- Lifeline
