At Cox, we believe affordable internet should be within reach. Beginning in June, customers enrolled in ACP will no longer see the subsidy reflected on their bill. ACP stopped accepting new enrollments in February as Congress did not approve additional funding. We remain committed to offering affordable internet options for households on a tight budget looking for reliable internet.

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) was a U.S. government program that helped over 23 million low-income households with discounts for internet service and equipment costs.
Eligible households enrolled in ACP received up to $30 (or $75 on Tribal lands) off their monthly internet service and equipment.
As of February 8, 2024 no new enrollments were accepted in the Affordable Connectivity Program. May 2024 was the final month of the subsidy.

The Affordable Connectivity Program is an FCC program (the “Program”) to help eligible households pay for internet service. The FCC has announced that April 2024 will be the last month of full Program discounts. No new Program enrollments will be processed after February 7, 2024, 11:59 PM EST and all required documentation must be received prior to that time. Program benefit is non-transferrable; one per household. For eligible households, Program provides a monthly discount of up to $30 (up to $75 for households on Tribal lands) towards the amount charged for residential broadband internet service, after any other discounts are applied (most discounts applied via monthly credit within 1 billing cycle and last discount will be applied to the bill for April). Program and discount are subject to change. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a select laptop or desktop computer through our partner PCs for People (while supplies last) if they contribute $10-$50 to the device’s purchase price and have not already received the discount from another provider. A household is eligible for Program if: (1) it qualifies for the FCC Lifeline program; (2) at least one member of the household has applied for and been approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision; (3) it received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year; (4) it receives benefits through the special supplemental nutritional program for women, infants, and children (WIC); (5) household income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines; or (6) is enrolled in Cox Connect2Compete. Eligible households may receive Program benefit from any participating provider and may transfer the benefit to another provider at any time, however, you will be unable to transfer your benefit back to Cox after February 7, 2024 11:59 EST. Program discounts may be applied to any generally available internet tier. You remain responsible for monthly payment to Cox. After Program discounts end in April 2024, you transfer your benefit to another provider, or you are de-enrolled from the Program, Cox’s regular terms and rates apply. See cox.com for current regular rates. Cox Internet service is subject to the Cox Residential Customer Service Agreement (or Straight Up Internet Customer Service Agreement), Acceptable Use Policy, and other policies. Internet service discounted through this program may be cancelled at any time without an early termination fee. All application and eligibility decisions are made by the FCC.

ACP Important Program Changes
On January 11, 2024, the FCC released wind-down rules for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The FCC stated that unless Congress takes action, the current ACP program is expected to last through May 2024, receiving partial subsidy in May ($14 instead of $30. If on Tribal Land, household will receive $35 instead of $75).
When will I lose my ACP discount?
The FCC has announced the partial subsidy amounts for May. Households will receive $14 for non-Tribal and $35 for those on Tribal lands. Cox will pass this subsidy along to customers currently enrolled in ACP with Cox and it will be reflected on the May 2024 bill. June 2024 will be the first bill without any ACP subsidy.
Unless Congress takes action soon funds for your ACP monthly benefit—the government program that has been providing a discount towards your internet service—will run out after your May ACP discount.
Right now, no action is needed from you. But without additional funding, you should expect that your bill will increase by the amount of your ACP discount starting in June. We understand this is difficult news but we will do everything we can to support and keep you informed along the way.
Will ACP be extended?
We hope so! Members of Congress have introduced a bipartisan bill that would provide more funding to extend the ACP program. We, along with many other providers, support this bill.
Can I transfer my ACP Benefit?
If you choose to transfer your ACP benefit to another provider, you won't be able to transfer your ACP benefit back to Cox after February 7, 2024.
Can I still enroll in ACP?
Customers who are not currently enrolled have until February 7, 2024 to complete enrollment for ACP Benefit. Households who have applied, been approved, and are receiving the monthly internet discount before February 8, 2024 will continue to receive their ACP benefit until there aren’t enough ACP funds to fully cover everyone’s discounts, as long as the household remains enrolled in the program.
Do you have Low-Cost Internet Options?
We remain committed to providing customers with affordable internet and connectivity options even if ACP ends. We’ll continue to offer a wide range of Internet speeds and prices, including our low-cost affordability tiers Connect2Compete and ConnectAssist. Learn more about our low-cost options here.
