The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)

is no longer accepting applications 

 

The last fully funded month of the ACP was April 2024. Consumers can apply for another federal benefit called Lifeline. The Affordable Connectivity Program was administered by USAC with oversight from the Federal Trade Commission (FCC). 

​

Why can I no longer apply for ACP? 

Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the ACP stopped accepting new applications as of February 7, 2024. The last fully funded month of the ACP was April 2024, and the program has ended for now. If Congress provides more funds for the ACP, the FCC will issue additional information.

​

When will my ACP benefit end?

How can I save on my Internet service?
