Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
What is the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) Program?
It is a program that provides a temporary discount on monthly bills for qualifying households. The program will end when the fund runs out of money or six months after the Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner.
Who is eligible?
There are several qualifying criteria and only one member of the household needs to meet one of the criteria in order to be eligible. You can see the criteria on the Do I Qualify page of the EBB site.
How do you apply?
There are three ways to apply.
- Apply Online
