The ACP Has Ended for Now

Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program has ended for now. Effective June 1, 2024, households will no longer receive an ACP discount.

ACP enrolled households are strongly encouraged to carefully review written notices from their internet company and from the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), the ACP administrator, about the end of ACP.

Households are also encouraged to consult their internet company to learn more about how the end of the ACP will impact their internet service and bill.

For more information about the end of ACP, refer to AffordableConnectivity.gov.

The Affordable Connectivity Program helped ensure that households were able to afford the broadband they needed for work, school, healthcare and more.

The ACP benefit provided a discount of up to 30permonthtowardinternetserviceforeligiblehouseholdsandupto30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to 30permonthtowardinternetserviceforeligiblehouseholdsandupto75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.

Eligible households could also receive a one-time discount of up to 100topurchasealaptop,desktopcomputer,ortabletfromparticipatingprovidersiftheycontributedmorethan100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contributed more than 100topurchasealaptop,desktopcomputer,ortabletfromparticipatingprovidersiftheycontributedmorethan10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
