The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal government benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission that reduces one eligible household’s broadband internet access service bill by up to $30 per month. The area Internet Service Providers offer a variety of internet packages. They all participate in the ACP and allow you to either apply your benefits to your existing bill or start a new service. They even have plans that require no money out of your pocket once your ACP benefits are applied.

You are likely eligible if your household’s income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.
