ACP Benefits.org Application affordable connectivity. gov : How to Apply for Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
You can sign up for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) @ affordable connectivity. gov by contacting your internet service provider directly through ACPBenefits.org.
Your current enrollment in Lifeline will automatically get you access to ACP Benefits.org. Both the Lifeline and the ACP benefit can be used for the same service, or they can be used independently.
You can:
- Talk to your Lifeline provider about the services they may have available as part of the ACP, including options to apply the discounts to your existing Lifeline service, or
- Contact another internet company participating in the ACP to apply the benefit to a separate internet service.

Already in a low-income program with a non-Lifeline provider?
Reach out to your internet company directly to see if you can enroll in the program. You likely do not need to apply again.
If you do not participate in Lifeline but receive service from a participating company that has its own low-income program, you may not need to apply for the ACP benefit. This option is only available if the company obtained approval for its application process from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Talk to your provider for more information.
If your household is eligible, you could receive:
- Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service
- Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands
- A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)
