The Federal Communications Commission says it’s providing 50-dollar-a-month direct payments toward internet bills to people who sign up for the Emergency Broadband Benefit program. Nick Ludlum of the wireless industry group C-T-I-A, says if you’re eligible, internet service providers will deduct 50-dollars from your bill every month until the program runs out of money or the pandemic is declared over by health officials. Ludlum says since the program’s launch a few weeks ago, there’s been nationwide interest.
He explains that people who lost income during the pandemic and make less than 198-thousand dollars per year, as well as low-income households, could be eligible. It’s perhaps ironic that you need internet access to complete the application. But for help finding out if you’re eligible and how to apply, visit ‘ebbhelp.org.’ Or call the program’s hotline number, 833-511-0311, from 9 A-M to 9 PM Eastern time, seven days a week
