The FCC will soon offer up to $50 a month toward broadband expenses for households that qualify. This will include the families with children that qualify for reduced income meals.
Households whose children get free or low-cost school meals will also be eligible for the monthly discount of up to $50, as will people who have lost their jobs or had their income reduced in the past year. Low-income college students who receive student aid in the form of federal Pell grants qualify as well.
Those responsible for children need to be informed. I received this information through my AARP source. Old folks need to good wifi too.
