What is it?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program offered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help low-income households pay for Internet service and connected devices like laptops or tablets.

Steps to enroll

1. Go to  AffordableConnectivity.gov  to submit an application 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.

The Benefits

The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward Internet service for eligible households. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a computer device.

Need help with ACP

If you need to talk to someone about your eligibility or application status, call the ACP Support Center at (877) 384-2575.

Who is Eligible?

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 receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch. 

Other no cost plans

Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no-cost plans may be available to use with the Affordable Connectivity Program. To learn more, please visit GetInternet.gov.
