ACP Free Tablet The Program Has Ended
The Affordable Connectivity Program is no longer accepting enrollments or providing its former broadband and connected device benefits.
Websites may still use old ACP language, outdated tablet offers, or enrollment forms even though the federal program ended.
Can you still get an ACP free tablet?
There is no active federal ACP enrollment process and no current ACP connected-device discount to claim. A tablet advertised today must come from some other provider, promotion, assistance program, or purchasing arrangement.
What ACP provided before it ended.
These amounts explain why older websites still contain strong “ACP tablet” language. They describe the former program, not benefits available for new enrollment today.
Under the former ACP device benefit, the household had to contribute more than $10 but less than $50 toward the connected device.
The ACP wind-down in three dates.
The program was established to help eligible households afford broadband and, in certain cases, a connected device.
The program entered its wind-down as available funding approached exhaustion.
The program ended on June 1 after additional funding was not provided.
Old ACP wording can still appear online.
Lifeline still exists. But it is not the old ACP.
Lifeline is a separate federal program that helps eligible households reduce the monthly cost of qualifying phone or internet service.
A free, discounted, or low-cost tablet advertised by a company should be treated as a separate device offer and verified on its own terms.
If a website mentions ACP, check what it is really offering.
That does not match the current federal program status.
