For those struggling to make ends meet, there is federal help to pay for those internet bills.
The "Affordable Connectivity Program" will give households up to $30 a month off internet service. you can also get a one-time, $100 discount for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. To qualify, households must have income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guideline.
You also have to be receiving other government assistance, like SNAP Benefits or Medicaid.
The credit can be used with a number of internet providers. Some companies, like Comcast, offer programs that can essentially make your internet service free.
