Helping Families Pay for Broadband Service & Internet-Connected Devices

Affordable Connectivity Program

The Affordable Connectivity Program provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. The ACP is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.

  • Receives one of the following benefits:
    • Medicaid

How to Enroll

  1. Go to ACPBenefit.org to submit an application or print out a mail-in application.
    Save time by applying online. The online application process verifies if residents are currently receiving qualifying benefits, reducing the need for supporting documentation.
  2. Contact your preferred participating provider to select a plan and have the discount applied to your bill.

Some providers may have an alternative application that they will ask you to complete.

Eligible households must both apply for the program and contact a participating provider to select a service plan.
