Low-income households can receive a $50 discount on their internet service thanks to a new federal program that starts Wednesday.
The Federal Communications Commission s Emergency Broadband Benefit program is intended to help families pay for high-speed internet, which has become essential for work and school during the coronavirus pandemic.
The $3.2 billion program will be applied directly to consumers bills, with 825 internet providers being part of the initiative, according to the commission. The internet subsidy was funded and authorized by the coronavirus relief package that Congress passed in December.
The program will also provide a one-time discount of up to $100 to help families purchase a computer or tablet.
