Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
 The Emergency Broadband Benefit is an FCC program to help households struggling to pay for internet service during the pandemic. This new benefit will connect eligible households to jobs, critical healthcare services, and virtual classrooms.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit will provide a discount of up to $50 per month towards broadband service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute $10 to $50 toward the purchase price.
The Emergency Broadband Benefit is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.
The program has been authorized by the FCC, but the start date has not yet been established. Please check this page for information on eligibility and program updates or visit here for Consumer FAQs for Emergency Broadband Benefits.
Information for Providers
The program is open to all broadband providers, not just those currently offering Lifeline services.
