FOCUS Broadband is participating in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a federal program that provides eligible households with a temporary discount on internet service.
This program will provide a discount of up to $30 if eligibility requirements are met.

A household is eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program if one member of the household:

• Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline;
• Receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision;
• Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year;
• Has an income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines
• Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income program.

There is a limit of one benefit per household per month. Once the program ends, households participating in ACP will be subject to the undiscounted rates, general terms and conditions at the end of the program to continue to receive service.
