President Joe Biden said that his infrastructure law had cut broadband internet bills for millions of Americans, casting the program as part of his efforts to fight high inflation.
But Biden urged millions more families who qualify but haven’t signed up to take advantage of the initiative, called the Affordable Connectivity Program.
Families earning twice the federal poverty level or less, about $55,500, are eligible for a $30 per month discount on internet services. So are those receiving many other federal benefits for low-income people, including Medicaid, Pell grants and food aid.
