Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
Need help with Internet costs?
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a national, U.S. government program giving low-income households a discount of up to $30 per month for internet service and some discounts on computer device costs. Households can apply for the program by visiting www.ACPBenefit.org

Lower-income residents (below 200% of federal poverty level) or who are receiving public benefits such as free school lunch, WIC/SNAP, Pell grants, subsidized housing, and Medicaid. Lifeline users also qualify.
Find out of you qualify here: https://acpbenefit.org/do-i-qualify/.
Getting the ACP benefit requires one or two steps: (1) confirming eligibility and (2) signing up with the internet provider to apply for the subsidy.
Some internet providers with a low-income program allow direct ACP sign-up; others will require the federal ACP eligibility sign-up first.
- In the Seattle area, Comcast Internet Essentials customers can apply directly through Comcast. PCs for People and Human I-T also allow direct signup.

It is important to remember the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is designed to support internet service so if your current mobile phone provider does not also give you a good internet connectivity data plan, we recommend you look at other service provider options.
