The wind-down is happening because the $14.2 billion allocated to fund the ACP will run out at the end of April 2024 unless Congress takes action to extend it. Due to the current lack of additional funding, the FCC has begun to wind down the ACP. This means: ACP applications and enrollments were paused after February 7, 2024, at 11:59 PM ET. Households who had applied, were approved, and were receiving the monthly internet discount before February 8, 2024, will continue to receive their ACP benefit until ACP funds run out, as long as they remain enrolled in the program. Once the ACP funds run out (the FCC has announced that the last fully funded month will be April 2024), households participating in the ACP will no longer receive the ACP discount. Congress may still allocate additional funding to the ACP. See our “Advocacy” section below for more information on these pathways and how you can get involved.
