Library: English | Affordable Connectivity Program (Tribal Lands) Tribal lands residents can get free internet service with enhanced benefit. This publication provides details about the FCC's Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) for Tribal lands residents, which provides a monthly benefit of $75 that is applied to the cost of your internet service, resulting in a lower bill.

PROGRAM UPDATE: Due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the Affordable Connectivity Program has placed a freeze on new ACP applications and enrollment. Consumers must be approved and enrolled with an internet service provider by 11:59 p.m. ET on Feb. 7 to receive the ACP benefit. Consumers who are enrolled in the ACP will continue to receive their benefit through April 2024. (This is an estimate, and could change.) If Congress decides to provide more funding for the ACP, the FCC will provide further guidance and instructions on how the program will proceed, and Consumer Action will update this message.
