  • Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline;

How do I apply for the ACP?

Two-steps to enroll:

  1. Go to USAC: ACP to submit an application or print out a mail-in application; and
  2. Contact your preferred participating provider to select a plan and have the discount applied to your bill.

Some providers may have an alternative application that they will ask you to complete. Eligible households must both apply for the program and contact a participating provider to select a service plan.

How will I know if I am approved for the ACP after I apply?

After you submit an application, USAC will share the results with you. If you apply online, you may receive immediate approval. If USAC cannot confirm your eligibility automatically, they will request additional documentation from you and provide information on how you can submit those documents for review.

How long does the ACP last?

The ACP will remain in effect as long as it is federally approved and there is adequate funding.

How often do I need to provide proof of eligibility?

You must qualify and be approved by the FCC National Verifier before you’re eligible for the ACP. You must recertify your eligibility for the ACP each year.

When can I expect the ACP discount on my bill?

You can expect to see the first credit within 1-2 billing cycles. All documentation must be received by the 28th of the month to be eligible to receive a discount for that month.

Are businesses eligible for the ACP discount?

Businesses are not eligible for the discount. However, personal accounts with business plans may be eligible if the customer verifies that it is used for personal reasons. Please note that there may be a delay in enrollment as USAC may need to be notified about the plan.

Can the ACP be applied to an account on vacation mode?

No, the account must have been used at least once during the month the discount is being claimed.

If a customer is de-enrolled from the ACP or transfers their benefit to a new service provider, will they be eligible for a partial month discount?

No. If a customer leaves the program for any reason in the middle of the month, no discount will be applied.
