The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal program created as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Among other things, this program can help qualified households pay for connectivity services such as wireless and internet plans. The program extends and modifies the more temporary Emergency Broadband Benefit.
The ACP will only provide each household with monthly assistance for one service at a time. For example, if you are already receiving assistance for your wireless service, you cannot also receive ACP assistance for your internet plan.
The EBB was an emergency program created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ACP is a replacement and extension of the EBB program, reducing the amount of assistance from $50 per month to $30 per month for participants who do not live on tribal lands. Participants on qualified tribal land will still receive $75 per month in the new version of the program. For a complete list of program changes and updates, visit the official FCC website.
