A household is eligible for the ACP if the household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Enrollees in SNAP, Medicaid (HUSKY A, C, and D), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Free and Reduced-Price School Breakfast/Lunch, certain Tribal assistance programs, and several other services are automatically eligible as well.
Eligible households must apply for the program and contact a participating provider to select a service plan. More than 1,300 internet service providers participate in the program.
The ACP is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
