What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), replaces the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB). ACP is an FCC benefit program that helps low-income households pay for broadband service and internet connected devices.

If your household is eligible for a discounted tablet through the ACP, you will receive the following:

• One Tablet for one payment of $10.01
• FREE High Speed Data

Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices.

This promotional service offer is supported by the ACP and operated by the FCC. Only eligible consumers may enroll. Eligibility is based on income less than or equal to 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participation in Lifeline, Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, free or reduced-price school lunch/breakfast, or Pell Grant and is determined by the National Verifier (documentation may be required). The ACP benefit is non-transferable and is limited to one monthly service discount and benefit transfer per household.  If the FCC announces the end of the ACP, ACP service offers will end. If your household is no longer eligible, you will be notified.
