The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a new federal program to help low-income households pay for monthly internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.
As a member of a Medicaid-funded program, MCW members may qualify. You can find full details about eligibility on ACP’s website. You may be able to 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 copayment of more than $10 but less than $50)
The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
