"High-speed internet is not a luxury. It's a necessity.

But today, too many families simply can't afford it.

That's why in November, when we passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we created something called the Affordable Connectivity Program. Here's how it works.

If your household income is twice the federal poverty level or less -- or if a member of your household is on Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, or a number of other programs, you're eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Nearly 40% of American households qualify.

Families who are eligible can select a plan from a participating provider and receive high-speed internet at no cost in most cases.

To find out if you're eligible and enroll in the program, call 877-384-2575 or head to http://GetInternet.gov."
