A look back at the historic broadband subsidy program.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was an FCC benefit program that helped ensure households could afford the broadband they needed for work, school, and healthcare. It provided a discount of up to per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the ACP ceased accepting new applications and halted fully subsidized service in 2024. Consumers seeking communications assistance today should apply for the Lifeline program instead.
Most households qualify through income or a program like SNAP, Medicaid, or SSI. Check eligibility →
