Medi-Cal families receive discounted internet services
Tuesday, November 8, 2022
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Oct. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- If the pandemic taught us anything, it highlighted how critical access to internet and digital services are to our well-being in this modern world.
More than a dozen Inland Empire families are now connected to the internet at discounted rates, thanks to Get Connected California! and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) events they held at Inland Empire Health Plan's (IEHP) Riverside and San Bernardino Community Resource Centers last week.
The Affordable Connectivity Program is a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) benefit that helps ensure households can afford internet services they need for work, school, healthcare and more.
The benefit provides a discount of up to $30 per month towards internet access and offers discounts on laptops, desktop computers, or tablets to eligible households.
Eligible households must be enrolled in Medi-Cal or other government assistance programs like CalFresh, Lifeline or Supplemental Security Income. In addition, households must have four people with an income of less than $53,000 to participate.
"The internet is so much more than connectivity, it's a tool that can move entire communities forward," said IEHP Community Resource Center Manager Maria Gallegos. "We're so proud of this partnership and look forward to doing all we can to inspire future events like these."
