This new benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband service for eligible households. 

If you have a student who participates in the Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision, then your household is eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers. 

You can learn more about the benefit, including eligibility and enrollment information, by visiting: fcc.gov/ACP or by calling 877-384-2575.
