How can you potentially get help with your internet bill in the Hudson Valley

There is a program through the FCC (Federal Communications Company) that is called the Affordable Connectivity Program. The program (if you qualify) will get you $30 off your internet bill each month, plus a one-time stipend to also purchase a computer.

How can you find out if you are eligible for either of the above amounts?

The program is income based. If you are already receiving SNAP, Medicare, receiving Section 8 housing assistance or a few other programs, you more than likely will be eligible for the internet savings program. To see if you are eligible and to get the forms to apply, click here.
