Need Help Paying for Internet? 

Check out the Affordable Connectivity Program, a federal benefit program that helps ensure more households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more. 

The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. 

The application is a simple two-step process:

  1. Go to ACPBenefit.org to apply or print out a mail-in application.
  2. Contact your preferred participating provider to select a plan and have the discount applied to your bill.
