"Many North Carolina families struggle to af- ford high-speed internet," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. "The Emer- gency Broadband Benefit Program will help bridge the digital divide so that people in need can get online to talk with their doctors, learn remotely, find or do work, and con- nect with friends and fam- ily." The Emergency Broad- band Benefit Program (EBBP) gives a discount of up to $50 a month to a household's internet bill. That increases to $75 a month for those living on tribal lands. Eligible households can also get a one-time discount of $100 toward the purchase of a laptop, tablet or desktop computer through partici- pating providers. Enrollment in EBBP will open on May 12. Households with an in- come at or less than 135 percent of federal poverty guidelines are eligible for the EBBP. A household also qualifies if at least one member participates in a federal benefits pro- gram such as Medicaid, SNAP, or Lifeline, re- ceives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program, lost a job or a significant amount of income in the past year, received a Federal Pell Grant, or is part of an internet service provider's low-income or COVID-19 program. "Affordability is one barrier among the ineq- uities that prevent nu- merous North Carolina residents and households from accessing high- speed, high-quality inter- net," Jim Weaver, North Carolina Department of Information Technology (NCDIT) secretary and state chief information officer, said. "This ben- efit can spur demand for building infrastructure to bring that service into areas of the state that have little or no access to broadband." Administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the program was created by Congress in the Consoli- dated Appropriations Act of 2021 to help Ameri- cans access healthcare, jobs, classrooms and businesses during the pandemic. Many types of providers, including those offering landline and wire- less broadband, are offer- ing the discount. The FCC gives extensive guidance for providers seeking to participate. The NCDIT Broadband Infrastructure Office (BIO) offers guidance on how North Carolina house- holds can apply for the benefit and how provid- ers in the state can par- ticipate in it. The FCC's consumer site has detailed informa- tion on how households can qualify and apply for the program. Households can also see a list of par- ticipating providers in their state. Governor Coo- per has called on internet service providers in North Carolina to participate in the program so that more North Carolinians can af- ford to get online. The EBBP will end six months after the U.S. De- partment of Health and Human Services declares the pandemic is over or when the program uses all its $3.2 billion fund- ing, whichever happens first. Providers must no- tify consumers at least 30 days before the discount ends and must let con- sumers opt-in to continue service before charging them a higher rate. To help get high-speed internet service to even more North Carolinians, NCDIT's Broadband In- frastructure Office is currently conducting a survey to Some NC families eligible for discount on internet and computers SHOP LOCAL!
