The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is designed to assist households with an income at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines. You can also qualify if your household participates in certain federal assistance programs like Medicaid or is receiving WIC benefits.

The aim of the program is to make broadband affordable for the many Americans who rely on it for work, school, health care and more.

The ACP replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (EBB) on December 31, 2021.

The eligibility requirements for an ACP applicant or an applicant’s dependent are:

• Meets the qualifications for participation in the Lifeline program (with the modification that the qualifying household income threshold is at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of that size);
• OR has been approved to receive school lunch benefits under the free and reduced-price lunch program or the school breakfast program
• OR has received a Federal Pell Grant in the current award year
• OR meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider’s existing low-income program (subject to approval by
  the FCC)
• OR receives assistance through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

All eligible ACP customers also get a one-time $100 device credit. Ting Internet is offering qualifying customers a Lenovo M8 HD tablet for only $20 plus taxes on the full $120 retail price. To purchase the Lenovo M8 Tablet:
