The FCC has confirmed that the ACP has funding left for March, and April 2024, running out of current funding after April 2024. PCs for People continues to advocate for more funding for the program and a potential funding bill has been introduced in Congress. We encourage all of our customers and partners to contact their Representatives and Senators to ask for their support for the ACP. In the meantime, we have to begin the process for the wind-down of the program.
Next steps:
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the technology they need for work, school, healthcare, and more.
PCs for People has been approved as a provider for both internet services and computer benefits through the ACP. Customers that meet our eligibility requirements will qualify to have their monthly internet bill covered and a discount on a home computer.

New Subscribers
The benefit will be applied to the cost of your first internet device purchase and then it will cover monthly renewals for internet service after the first month. No new subscribers can be enrolled after 2/7/24.
Current Subscribers
The benefit will cover monthly renewals for internet service for the duration of the program. Funding for the program is projected to run out in April 2024.
Due to the various program restrictions, subscribers will have to visit our website every month to renew and apply their ACP discount to their internet bill. If choosing to pay for multiple months at once, subscribers will have to wait until their subscription ends before signing up.
