      Does this also apply if you have another way of getting internet? Please don't put me down but I don't think mine is broadband. I think mine comes through my phone company Quest. Does this work for that too? Please get back because I really need any help I can get now because of disability. Thank you!

    It is funny how I am supposedly getting the $50 a month and before my internet cost was no more than $68 and now I still pay almost $30. The taxes, and other fees were added up. I was told by the AT&T person that I would only pay $5 but he neglected to tell me that the others fees were not added to that $5 amount. So technically you internet is not ALL paid by the government.

    Jeff, I’m asking for help. I received my ID number from USAC
    on 5/18 /2021. Contracted spectrum that day.
    Gave them the ID number. After that never heard from them.
    I called spectrum about 5 times got 5 different responses.
    Then lately Sunday . O’ we have your information but no
    one put your ID number on the form. Then asking personal
    questions like middle name which is my wife’s maiden name
    my wife’s date of birth. I asked why do you need this information
    he said he was filling out some form. I asked if I could see this
    form or can you scan it to me? Couldn’t do that. I said thanks.
    Then I call today and this person told me they are waiting to get
    the credit from whoever and give it to me?
    Every time I call I get a different answer?
    Are they giving me the run around? It seems they don’t want to do it.
    Please advise me!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thank you so much for digging this stuff up to help us. But two problems for me. It may be my ADHD acting up, but I can rarely understand what you are saying. I will be 65 in July and I am so anxious to understand every word so I can feel my empowerment through education. I will slow the video down but would you take some care to speak slower for everyone to hear and absorb your words? I would be ever so grateful and you would be my hero! Another thing is Medicaid, especially it's relationship to mental health and the inclusion of different kinds of counselors. I feel I am swimming in a sea of confusion as to how to help my mental health and keep the counselor I am presently working with. I know Medicaid is through the state, and all the states are probably different, but if you could help me find my power with it by helping me understand the basics. I got sent a handbook and the print was so small l could hardly read it and I am still in a tizzy over it. Thank you so much, SeniorLiving!

    Yes, I got internet reduced by $50.00. So I'm getting it for $29.00 a month until the pandemic is over. I had to show upload proof of income., so I had my tax return &uploaded that. I had a pt time job,(along with our SS benefits) until the pandemic made it so I couldn't do it any more, so all my income was on the tax return, it made it really easy to do. Otherwise, if you are on SS, or whatever all you would have to do is to upload the benefits letter, for each person. But having the tax return made it really easy, as I already had it saved on the computer& didn't have to upload it from the printer all in one.
    I just got done paying the bill. It does work!

    • @Jimfromearthoo7
      @Jimfromearthoo7 3 года назад

      You paid $79.00 for internet only? Or is that for tv also? My wife has
      medicaid so we were approved on that. Got the id and all.
      But have had wifi service from TWC/Spectrum for over 30 years
      Just wifi only no tv. And I pay $38,00 monthly.
      In Order for me to us the $50. Credit I would have to be on a $79.00
      plan. Then I would have to pay $29.00 monthly.
      So once the $50 credit ends I will continue to pay $79. Monthly!😛

    I was approved for the Emergency Broadband Benefit on May 22nd. I immediately called my internet provider, Verizon, and gave them the ID number provided by the USAC as instructed in the approval email. Here we are in July and they still haven't applied my $50 discount. I have made 6 phone calls to Verizon and each time they ask for my ID number and put me through an "application process" but they keep telling me that for some reason it's not going through even after assuring me that it would. On the 6th call they said "let's just remain hopeful that it'll go through this time" after 5 previous failed attempts with no explanation as to why. Any ideas what I can do?
