FCC ISSUES FORMAL NOTICE THAT APRIL IS THE FINAL FULL MONTH OF ACP PROGRAM
In a letter to Congress, Chairwoman Rosenworcel urges immediate action before the program runs out of funds
--
WASHINGTON, March 4, 2024—The Federal Communications Commission today formally notified Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) providers that, due to a lack of additional funding from Congress, the agency will only be able to fully fund the program through the month of April. Also today, in a letter to congressional leaders, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel urged immediate action before the program runs out of funds and participating households no longer receive the full ACP benefit. The letter also highlighted the immediate impact that the ACP enrollment freeze has had on households wishing to enroll in the program but are now unable to do so. Over the past three years, Rosenworcel has been traveling the country, meeting with ACP recipients and digital navigators to understand first-hand how the program is making a difference.
