The ACP is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet. Through the Franklin visit, they will provide tablets with 25GB of data to qualifying individuals.

Adults may be eligible if they meet any of the following qualifications:
  • Income at or Below 200% Federal Poverty Level
  • Federal Pell Grant in the Current Award Year
  • Medicaid
  • WIC
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance (Section 8)
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
  • Veterans and Survivors Pension Benefits​

Attendees should bring proof of eligibility. This may be an award letter or official documents that show participation in a qualifying program when applying for the Emergency Broadband Benefit. Also take a valid state or federal ID.

There is a limit of one discount per household (internet/phone/tablet).
