The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households up to $30 a month, or $75 a month for households living on tribal lands, toward their internet bills, as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet.

• All households with a child that qualifies for free or reduced-price school meals, including children who attend schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), are eligible for ACP benefits.
• Households are also eligible if a member of a household participates in certain federal benefit programs—including, among others, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, Medicaid, and Federal Public Housing Assistance.

Households may apply for the ACP via GetInternet.gov or can call 877-384-2575. Households applying directly through the ACP website may need to show documentation proving their current free or reduced-price meal eligibility if it cannot be confirmed with other personal identifying information. This may include presenting the household’s school meals approval letter or other current official documentation.

Households with a child attending a school participating in the CEP will need documentation, such as an official, individualized letter from the CEP school stating that the student is enrolled at a CEP-participating school. The documentation must also include the student’s name, the relevant school year, the name and address of the school, and school contact information. Schools are encouraged to include a unique number in the letter to enable the ACP administrator to confirm its authenticity if needed.
