Just received this notice from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City today:
---
Millions of American households now may apply for help to pay for computers and home internet service through the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) Program. The $3.4 billion program, which launched May 12, provides eligible households up to $50 a month ($75 for households on tribal lands) toward a home internet subscription and a $100 discount toward a computer.
Millions stand to benefit, but those most in need also are the hardest to reach. Please help get the word out! With a little help from you, people will be able to compare plans and sign up.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City has created a PDFpromotional flyer you may use to help spread the word. A promotional toolkit about the EBB has been created by the FCC and is available on its website.
Who is eligible?
