Americans can begin applying for $50 off their monthly internet bill on Wednesday as part of an emergency government program to keep people connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For example, your household is eligible if you receive food stamps, have a child in the free or reduced-price school lunch program, use Medicaid, or lost income during the pandemic and made $99,000 for single filers, or $198,000 for joint filers, or less.
There are other eligibility requirements, too — see https://getemergencybroadband.org to find out if you qualify.
