Congress recently created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) that will replace the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB Program). Households enrolled in the EBB Program as of 12/31/21 will continue to receive their current monthly benefit during a 60-day transition period.
The ACP will provide a discount of up to $30 per month towards broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on Tribal lands.
