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!
Not anymore April 2024 is last month. Our government helps isahell more than it helps us. USA has given more than $100 BILLION to isahell in last 6 months. but they don't give $360 Million to seniors and poor Americans.
i had to recertify i sent in my paper work they told me my paper work is good but i failed to recertify because i put the name mike not michael on my recerticiation letter the disrespectful person at acp told me mike is not the same name as michael very rude people so now they told me they will send me the paper work all over again and i have to recertify all over again i asked the lady to talk to her supervisor she told me she cant find a supervisor to talk to me and a supervisor cant do nothing for me in this situation makes no sense
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.
But does this come monthly. How does it help with monthly service if it is not? Does it make you get a service and then leave you high and dry. IOW, How long does this stipend last?
@@CynthiaSchoenbauer yes its$50.00 a month. Should last up to 6 months or more or until the amount of money the government put in this. I didn’t know anything about, my internet company contacted me. It’s worth it regardless how long it last, check with your internet provider, they should be able to help you.
@@tonifarquhar3202 would you let us know the procedure you follow in order to get EBB thru Spectrum? Did you go through Spectrum or through USAC or something else? Thanks
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 P
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!
Its now called the "Affordable Connectivity Program"........I applied and received my approval #......then filled out the form with Optimum Cable vision and was denied 5 times, I gave up.....you cant get any help from Optimum
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!
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!😛
Is this still being offered? I’m 62 and would like to go back to work but can’t afford the internet after purchasing a new desktop. is there anywhere I can go so I can get internet with a fast enough speed to do my job?
@@carolyndaniel5376 There isn't a phone number for this. You have to sign up at the website. You just fill out the questionnaire & they then will send you an email , approving you( or no, if you didn't qualify.)
I accessed this site on my cell phone. As I was filling out answer to questionnaire, I got a warning from the Security software on the phone saying this wasn’t a safe site. Do you know anything about this?
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?
i use the free high speed unlimited internet i get on my phone with acp and i connect my phone to my laptop and i get very fast internet on my laptop very fast download speed
I was approved for the internet help. They paid for 1 month and then kicked me off with no explanation. I never did figure out how to get help with a computer. I qualify, but oh well.
i get very fast high speed internet on my government phone i hook my phone to my laptop works great i love free internet service i have a very wide smile on my face
Yessssssssss!!! I actually got $50/ month towards my internet bill. This helps tremendously. Thank you. You guys ROCK!!!!

We're hoping that Congress reauthorizes the program.

It looks like this credit is ending, unless congress extends it.
Yes, soon, but there's hope that it will be extended.

Unfortunately government programs rarely run smoothly. All you can do is reapply and be a squeaky wheel.

No!
