On February 1, 2024, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) stopped accepting new applications and enrollments. Due to the lack of additional funding, it was announced that April 2024 will be the last month ACP households will receive the full discount.
The ACP provided a monthly discount for internet services to eligible households, as well as a discount on one device (laptop, tablet or desktop computer).
ACP households may receive a partial ACP discount in May 2024. However, after May 2024, unless Congress provides additional funding, the ACP will end.
