Hundreds of thousands of Americans already are taking advantage of free government phone plans to stay connected to family, friends, emergency services, and work.

To receive the benefits above, you’re going to need to apply to the ACP program. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), formerly known as the Emergency Broadband Benefit, provides discounted internet service for eligible households. In particular, here’s what benefits the program itself offers:

  • up to $30 discount on internet (up to $75 if you’re living on tribal lands).
  • up to $100 discount to purchase a tablet or computer.

The ACP makes broadband internet service affordable when it otherwise wouldn’t be. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get connected. With the world increasingly moving online, affordable high-speed internet access is more essential than ever.

Qualifying to Receive ACP Benefits

To qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) and get discounted or free phone service, you’re going to need to meet a couple requirements.

Check If You’re Eligible

First, your annual household income has to be at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty guidelines. If you’re on government assistance like Medicaid, SNAP or SSI, you could also qualify.

Find a Participating Provider

Second, you need to choose a participating provider, such as EASY Wireless. Most major Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offer ACP discounted cell phone plans, so you should have options. Check with providers in your area for details on their ACP phone service offers.

Prove Eligibility

Finally, you have to apply and provide documents proving your eligibility. You can apply online at acpbenefit.org, mail in an application, or apply with your phone provider. You’ll need to submit things like pay stubs, tax returns, benefit statements or other proof of income for your household.

Receive Benefits

Once approved, you get phone service at a reduced cost. The exact discount will depend on which plan you choose with your provider. Benefits last for one year, after which you’ll need to reapply to continue receiving discounted phone service.

The ACP can help ensure all Americans have access to telephone service and the opportunities it provides. Take advantage of this benefit if you qualify – affordable connectivity is vital in today’s world. Apply today and start saving on your phone bill each month.

Lifeline Program

Lifeline is the second program that offers free kids phone plans to qualifying low-income individuals. If you meet certain eligibility criteria, you could also leverage it to receive a free phone with free data.

The Lifeline program aims to provide communication services for those who need them most. If you’re on a budget but need a reliable way to stay connected to family, a free fully unlocked phone could be an option worth exploring. The enrollment process is simple, and participating carriers offer coverage on major networks at no cost to you — not even line access fees!

Qualifying For Lifeline Program

To qualify for Lifeline, you must have an income at or below 135% Federal Poverty. Otherwise, you can qualify if you participate in one of the following programs:

  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance
  • Veterans Pension and Survivors Benefit

You must provide proof of participation in one of these programs. Once verified, you can choose from available Lifeline carriers and plans in your state. The options vary but typically include basic cell phones with talk and text, as well as smartphones with limited data. For many, a Lifeline phone serves as a lifeline in the truest sense. It provides security and access in times of need or emergency. If you qualify, take advantage of this valuable program and stay connected.
