The ACP is a new federal low-income assistance program designed to help offset some of the costs of residential broadband Internet service plans via monthly billed credits. The credit amounts for all ACP participants will cover the customer’s broadband Internet service plans up to a maximum of $30.00

To apply for ACP enrollment, consumers may visit the ACP online portal at https://acpbenefit.org/how-to-apply/ or obtain a paper application and mail it to the Universal Service Administration Company (USAC). ACP Applications and Independent Household Worksheets may be downloaded via the above link or from this website (see below) or you may visit the FTC office to get an application. When applying for the ACP, please make a copy of your application data. You will need that exact information later in the enrollment process. After you have applied, you will receive a notice from USAC and learn whether you have been approved. If you have been approved, you will want to gather your application data and your USAC approval notice and visit FTC for the next step. FTC will make every attempt to enroll you in the ACP as quickly as possible. Please be aware that your enrollment will be delayed if any of the data you used on your application does not perfectly match information you provide to customer service personnel at FTC.
