Emergency Broadband Assistance Program

for Families

Enrollment Opens May 12

If your family is struggling to afford the monthly cost of internet, the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program may be helpful. The EBB program is a $3.2 billion federal initiative to help lower the cost of high-speed internet for eligible households during the on-going COVID-19 pandemic. The EBB program will provide a discount of up to $50 per month towards broadband service for eligible families. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer or tablet from participating providers if they contribute $10-$50 toward the purchase price. Starting May 12, 2021 eligible households may enroll through an approved provider or by visiting the get emergency broadband web page.
