As of the end of 2021, the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has replaced the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) launched in May 2021 via federal stimulus dollars.

ACP is the permanent, $14.2 billion government program to fund digital tools for low-income families. The new benefit for those eligible is $30 per month toward internet bills, or $75 per month on Tribal lands, and a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a computer device.
