JackrabbitGo participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) for the Hi-Desert Community, which provides qualified households with a credit of up to $30/mo towards your internet service. Only eligible households may enroll.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC benefit program that helps ensure that households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more.
Program provides eligible customers of participating broadband providers up to a $30/month credit toward Internet and mobile services for the duration of the program. It will last for as long as the Federal Government funds the Program, which is expected to be several years. The amount of the credit depends on the rate for the services selected.
Example: You sign up for “The Bunny” Internet Service regularly priced at $49 per month. If eligible, you will receive $30 credit, so you pay a discounted price of $19 per month.
You’re eligible to participate if you (or someone in your household) meet one of the following requirements:
Option 1- Your entire household income is at or below twice the federal poverty level (see list)
Option 2-You participate in certain federal assistance programs such as SNAP/EBT (Food Stamps), Medicaid, Lifeline, or free and reduced-price school lunch and breakfast.
(see list)
If your entire household income is at or below twice the federal poverty level, you’re eligible to participate in ACP:
*You may have to show proof of income, like a tax return or three consecutive pay stubs, when you apply for ACP.

You’re eligible to participate if you (or someone in your household) meet one of the following requirements:
Federal Assistance Programs
The Lifeline Program
If you currently receive a Lifeline benefit, you automatically qualify for ACP. You can receive both benefits at the same time.
Qualify through your child or dependent
Any member of your household can make your household eligible if they participate in one of the programs above. For example, if your child or dependent participates in the Free and Reduced-Price School Lunch Program or is enrolled in a USDA Community Eligibility Provision school, your household qualifies for the ACP benefit.
*You may need to show a card, letter, or official document as proof that you participate in one of these programs when you apply for the ACP.

The Program will last for as long as the Federal Government provides funding which is expected to be for several years. Enrolled customers will be notified at least 30 days before the Program ends. You will be eligible for an ACP credit for so long as you continue to qualify for the Program and you may be required to periodically confirm your continued eligibility.
Once you receive confirmation of your enrollment, you could see the ACP credit on your very next bill. However, depending on when you enroll, the credit may not appear until your second bill after enrollment.
You may be disenrolled if you no longer meet the eligibility requirements of ACP, if you wish to switch internet service providers, or if you request to unroll.
