![]() Eligible individuals and families can now take advantage of a new, temporary federal program, the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB). The EBB was designed to help those struggling financially during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing a monthly internet discount of up to $50 (up to $75 for those living on tribal lands). There’s still money available, and we’re calling on you to help make sure our rural communities get connected to the EBB monthly internet discount. (While many have signed up successfully, we know others have encountered obstacles, such as finding out their providers aren’t participating or needing to upgrade their plans to qualify. The FFC urges consumers who encounter challenges to share their experience at consumercomplaints.fcc.gov.) Help us connect those who need access to the internet the most by using our toolkit to spread the word to your network. |
