Sign Up for ACP Today

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that ACP will "freeze" on February 7, 2024 at 8:59 PM Pacific Time (California Time) after which no new ACP enrollments will be accepted at this time. The FCC says, if the customer is approved for ACP and enrolled with an ISP by the February 7 deadline, then they will receive full 90 days of ACP benefits, taking them through April 2024. However, the FCC also says that full or partial benefits could continue into May or longer, due to claims, refunding, or an extension of funding by Congress.

While no one knows exactly what Congress and the FCC will do, by signing up before February 7, you will: get up to a $30 per month benefit for up to 3 months; and make sure you are registered as a household in need of affordable Internet service for the future. You also may be given more consideration by your ISP for transition to another affordable Internet plan.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is helping millions of eligible households throughout the U.S. save hundreds of dollars on Home Internet. This federally funded initiative offers a $30 monthly discount on Home Internet (up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal Lands) and a one-time discount of up to $100 for a computer or a tablet. Even better: when the ACP discount is used with the right plan, Home Internet can be FREE for your family.

Signing up for ACP is easy using the options listed below. And if you’re a Lifeline subscriber, the process is even easier — just contact your current Internet provider and tell them you want to enroll in ACP. NOTE: Be sure to tell them that you want the ACP benefit to be applied to your Home Internet plan and that your Lifeline benefit is kept for your cellular plan. That way, you’ll enjoy savings both at home and on the go!

  • Pell Grant: A Pell Grant Award Letter for the current year

To sign for ACP, you’ll also need a valid email address; an ACP representative can help you set up an email if you don’t have one.
