The Affordable Connectivity Program is a United States government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.

The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, tablet or desktop computer from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.

The program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. You are likely eligible if your household’s income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line or if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant or free and reduced-price lunch.
