The Emergency Broadband Benefit provides a discount of up to $50/month toward broadband service for eligible households and up to $75/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, or tablet computer from participating providers.
