A Vote is Set - Will the ACP Program be Funded Once Again?

It’s been over 30 days since the last fully-funded month of the Affordable Connectivity Program, which helped nearly 30 million Americans get access to affordable internet service (a very big deal). Since funding ran dry, there’s been little to no progress on an extension - that is, until now.

When is the Vote?

Enter Maria Cantwell, Chairwoman of the Senate Commerce Committee. She wrote up a bill to once again fund the ACP - and it’s scheduled for a vote on June 12th.

When Can I Get My ACP Benefit Again?

In the best case scenario, the ACP would return on July 1st, once again allowing low-income households to qualify for free and reduced-cost internet service thanks to a $30 monthly bill credit.

Could the ACP Program Become Permanent?

Though this bill only provides a year’s worth of funding for the ACP, there’s a really good chance that it gets added as a permanent part of the USF, or Universal Service Fund. This basically means that the program would be permanently funded in some capacity as a part of regular government budgeting forever.

So What Now?

We’re keeping a close eye on the vote and will provide an update when we know more. Cheers FreeConnect Gang Gang 🤠
