Affordable Connectivity Program (ACH)
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
The ACP is a United States government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices such as a laptop or tablet.
You are likely eligible if your household's income is below 200% of the Federal Proverty Line, OR if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit including but not limited to:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
- Medicaid
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
- Pell Grant
- Reduced-Price Lunch
If your household is eligible, you could receive:
- Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
- Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
- A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
- A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*
* Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no cost plans may be available to Affordable Connectivity Program enrollees. To learn more please visit GetInternet.gov. Provision of a link to this initiative does not imply FCC endorsement of any particular participating provider.
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices (Note: not all internet company offer device discounts.) The internet company will provide the discount to the consumer.
For more information regarding ACP or to see if you qualify for the program, visit the Federal Communications Commission webpage or the USAC APC webpage.
