The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) ended in April, 2024. Federal funding is depleted and no new enrollments or subsidy benefits are available.
However, you may still qualify for Lifeline Broadband. Households that previously qualified or were eligible for the ACP program may qualify for Lifeline Broadband, a similar subsidy that provides a discount, up to $34.25 a month, on broadband internet service.
