CONCORD – Today, a new and temporary federal program to help people pay for access to broadband internet service from home is being launched nationally.
Residents who already receive federal benefits such as SNAP food stamps or a Pell Grant, or who may have suffered a loss of income during the pandemic can get a $50 a month discount on their broadband bill and a one-time $100 discount as $3.2 billion is being made available until it runs out.
Go to https://www.fcc.gov/broadbandbenefit, or call, seven days a week at 833-511-0311 or contact your local broadband provider to see if you are eligible.
