About the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
The Emergency Broadband Benefit is a government program that will provide a discount of up to $50 per month towards broadband service for qualifying households.
Who Is Eligible for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program?
A household is eligible if one member of the household:
Qualifies for the Lifeline program;
Receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision, or did so in the 2019-2020 school year;
Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year;
Experienced a substantial loss of income since February 29, 2020 (i.e. furlough/job loss)
What will 1tennessee offer under the program?
We plan to offer a 100mbps internet package for under $10 per month.
The program will expire when the $3.2B set aside by Congress runs out OR six months after the CDC announces the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, whichever comes first.
