Frequently asked questions

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal government benefit program operated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) aimed at ensuring connectivity to eligible households. This new benefit aims to connect households to jobs, critical healthcare services, virtual classrooms, and so much more. Only one ACP per household, not per person, is allowed.

Am I eligible?

All new subscribers must demonstrate that they are eligible. In some states, a subscriber’s eligibility may be confirmed through a state database. Where a database is not available, subscribers must show proof of eligibility by demonstrating that they meet the income qualifications or participate in a qualifying program listed above.

The legislation defines “eligible household” as any household with at least one member who:

How do I apply for the ACP?

What does “one per household” mean?

Only ONE ACP service may be obtained per household. “Household” is defined as a group of people who live together at the same address and share income or expenses, whether related or not. If more than one household receiving an ACP benefit resides at an address, consumers must complete an Independent Economic Household worksheet to show eligibility for the ACP.

Are there any restrictions for this program?

Yes, there are a few simple restrictions. The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) service is a federal benefit program only available to individuals who participate in a qualifying government program or who are eligible based on their household income. Only one benefit per household is allowed; a household is not permitted to receive ACP benefits from multiple providers. ACP is not transferable to anyone. Customers must notify SafeLink Wireless within thirty (30) days if they no longer qualify to receive the ACP benefit.

If I have problems applying to the ACP, will SafeLink help?

We’re always here to help you. You can call 1-800-SafeLink (723-3546) for enrollment and plan change support, or visit SafeLink support online complete with helpful FAQs, 24/7 chat feature. You can also contact the ACP Support Center directly at (877) 384-2575 or visit their website at www.AffordableConnectivity.gov

Why do I need a separate application for the ACP if I already qualify for the LifeLine benefit?

You need to apply to the ACP separately because it’s a different program. It provides additional benefits such as Hotspot Data, which helps you work, stream, or browse the internet on your tablet or laptop from anywhere.

If I qualify for the ACP, will I lose any of my LifeLine benefits?

Will I have SafeLink, LifeLine & the ACP all at the same time?

Yes, you get the benefits of both programs with the quality service SafeLink provides.

How long will applying to the ACP take if I’m a SafeLink customer?

You already qualify because you’re a SafeLink customer, which makes the application process as easy as possible. It may take a couple of business days for approval once you’re done with the application process.
