The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household.

There are income limits based on household size. For a 1 person household, the income can be no greater than $27,180 – for a 2 person household, the lime it$36,620. There are two ways to apply. You can go to www.affordableconnectivity.gov and apply on-line or you can obtain a paper application from the Senior Center office.
