One of the major goals of the Social Security Administration is to improve the standard of living of the citizens of the United States. And through Supplemental Security Income this is achieved a little better. Supplemental Security Income checks go to the neediest households.
In addition, Supplemental Security Income recipients can not only receive a monthly check of up to $914 and that’s it. These citizens have the possibility to apply for a different help that will give them a discount on one of the most used and most quoted services in recent years.
Nowadays, it is rare to find a home in the world without an Internet connection. It is indispensable for many services and its usefulness is infinite. That is why the Social Security Administration wants all citizens with a SSI to have access to this service.
Therefore, if you meet the conditions, you will not only get help with your internet bill, but also with other related items. Because of this, Supplemental Security Income recipients can have a myriad of opportunities.
What help can citizens receive with Supplemental Security Income?
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides financial help for citizens with a check from Supplemental Security Income. These beneficiaries have access to the following financial benefits:
- Eligible households have $30 per month to pay for internet.
- Eligible households on tribal lands can get $75 per month.

And these aren’t the only helps. On top of that, it is also possible to get a one-time discount of up to $100. This discount is intended for buying a laptop, personal computer or tablet. But it is not possible to use the discount at any store, as it is mandatory to use it at participating suppliers.
Beneficiaries who want to get this discount through SSI have to pay a minimum of $10 for the product and a maximum of $50.
Any and all citizens who have a Supplemental Security Income check are eligible for this rebate. Also, not only SSI recipients can apply for this financial help. Citizens with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicaid, Federal, Public Housing Assistance, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Lifeline can also apply.
How can I apply for this help?
To apply for this help you only need to access the official website. There you will be able to find the instructions that will help you to get the economic discount on your internet bill.
Basically, what we have to do is after having accepted the Supplemental Security Income, we just have to apply for this offer. Once accepted, we sign up for internet from one of the available providers and we don’t have to do anything else.
After that we will start enjoying our advantage without any problem. So don’t miss the opportunity to get a monthly discount on your internet bill, as well as when buying some electronic devices. And don’t forget that it is possible to apply for this help even without Supplemental Security Income.
