The EBB is now the ACP! (Internet-to-the-Home Subsidy)
by White, Shannon (MDE) 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a continuation of the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) with a few changes is in place. Note the name change and further details below. >From the FCC's ACP website: https://www.fcc.gov/acp<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fcc.g…> The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward internet service for eligible households and up to $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands. Eligible households can also receive a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet from participating providers if they contribute more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price. The Affordable Connectivity Program is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household. Eligibility A household is eligible if a member of the household meets at least one of the criteria below: * Has an income that is at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines; or * Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, Federal Public Housing Assistance, SSI, WIC, or Lifeline; * Participates in Tribal specific programs, such as Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance, Tribal TANF, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations; * Is 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 in the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school year; * Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year; or * Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income program. Don't let a lack of information keep eligible families from your communities from signing up for this federal subsidy. The EBB toolkit has been modified for the ACP, but still has all the printable resources needed to spread the word (in English and Spanish). Here's the link to the ACP Toolkit website: https://www.fcc.gov/acp-consumer-outreach-toolkit<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fcc.g…>.

zv341- SAM.GOV
by Joyce Gendron 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

For those of you who are having difficulty with the DUNS/SAM.gov process, This is what I've found. Although many of us already have DUNS numbers, you need to go to fedgov.dnb.com/webform/ to begin a DUNS search. Click on Begin DUNS search/request process in left hand corner of the menu Go through the prompts Once you find your company listed click view/modify your information Your legal name should come up. It is imperative that you copy the exact legal name and paste it into the SAM registration You must also copy the EXACT physical address as shown here and paste it into the SAM registration entity physical address section. If "Street" is spelled out on the dnb website, it must also be spelled out in the SAM.gov website, etc. The above was my biggest problem. I hope this all works for you. (I am not a professional. Do not try this at home.) Joyce M. Gendron Waldron District Library
