You May Be Able to Pay Less for Internet Access or Even Get it Free



 







 





Internet access is necessary for work, school, healthcare, and more.
Unfortunately, high speed internet remains unaffordable for too many
households. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) runs a program, the
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), that reduces the cost of getting
online for people with limited income.  Many internet providers offer fully
covered internet plans - meaning you may even get high-speed internet for
free.
If your household income is 200% or less than the Federal Poverty Guidelines
or someone in your household participates in certain government assistance
programs, you may be eligible for the benefits the ACP provides. Visit the
ACP website to see if you qualify. Please do not contact Social Security
with questions about the ACP.
You can take advantage of the discounts with confidence knowing that
receiving ACP assistance does not affect your Social Security retirement,
survivors, or disability benefits.
What discounts are available?
*	$30 per month toward internet service for eligible households. Some
companies offer internet service for $30, making internet service free.
*	$75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
*	Eligible households also can receive a one-time discount of up to
$100 toward purchasing a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from
participating providers.
How do you get the discounts?
You can apply online with the FCC, directly contacting your current internet
service provider, or by mail.


 






Learn More and Apply
 You can also call 1-877-384-2575 to find out how to apply.
See the list of the internet companies offering service for $30.
