A new federal program will provide a $50 per month discount on internet service for many people with disabilities. A discount of $75 per month will be available to those on tribal lands who qualify. The discounts are available to any household with a person receiving Medicaid, Supplemental Social Security (SSI), SNAP (food stamps), or Federal Housing assistance, among other benefits.
Many people with disabilities receive these and thus qualify for the discount. The discount will be put on the customer's bill, and the service provider (cable, phone, cell phone, etc.) will be reimbursed by the feds.
