FCC FORM 5645
Affordable Connectivity Program
Application Form
About
the ACP
The ACP
is a Federal
Communications
Commission
(FCC) program that
provides a broadband
and/or one-time
connected device
benefit for qualifying
low-income
consumers.
Apply
To apply for the ACP, fill out the required sections of this form,
initial every agreement statement, and sign on page 7. You can
also apply online at ACPbenefit.org for faster processing.
Mail the form to this address:
USAC
Affordable Connectivity Support Center
P.O. Box 7081

Rules
If you qualify, your household can receive a monthly Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) benefit of up
to $30 to cover the cost of your internet service (up to $75 on qualifying Tribal lands). Through the
program, your service provider may also offer a one-time internet connected device benefit of up to $100
for a computer, tablet, or laptop with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50.
Your household cannot get the ACP benefit from more than one service provider. You are only allowed to
get one ACP benefit per household, not per person. If more than one person in your household
participates in the ACP, you are breaking the FCC’s rules and will lose your benefit.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is separate from the FCC's Lifeline Program. If your household
qualifies for both programs, you can apply for and receive both benefits.
Note: Broadband service providers must also meet certain criteria to participate in the ACP. Check with
your service provider to determine if it participates.
What is a household?
A household is a group of people who live together and share income and expenses (even if they are not
related to each other).
Do not give your benefit to another person
The ACP benefit is non-transferable. You cannot give your benefit to another person, even if they qualify for
the ACP.
Be honest on this form
You must give accurate and true information on this form and on all ACP related forms or questionnaires. If
you give false or fraudulent information, you will lose your benefit (i.e., de-enrollment or being barred from
the program) and the United States government can take legal action against you. This may include (but is
not limited to) fines or imprisonment.
You may need to show other documents
If the ACP Administrator is not able to validate that you or someone in your household qualify by checking
available electronic resources (including eligibility databases for the FCC's government agency partners),
you may need to provide additional documents. For example, you may need to provide an official
document that proves your participation in a qualifying government assistance program, your income, or
your identity.
