The federal government has a new $3.2 billion program to make sure that every family has access to high-speed broadband internet. But too many families don’t know about the program and don’t know that they qualify.Â
The program is called the Emergency Broadband Benefit, and it gives eligible households $50 per month towards their broadband bill. They can also get $100 off a new device. The program is easy to apply for, and has a broad set of eligibility requirements to reach as many families as possible. It’s OK if you’re not a citizen, and it’s OK if you have unpaid bills—you can still qualify.
Share out this information NOW and make sure every eligible student and family has the internet access they need and deserve!
Access to the internet should be a right in our country. A hundred years ago it was electricity and landline phones. Today, it’s access to reliable, high-speed internet. We need #InternetForAll.
