Many families have had to make tough financial decisions because of the coronavirus pandemic, with some families falling behind on electric and water bills, and, in some cases, paying their internet providers.
The Federal Communications Commission, though, is trying to help people stay connected. The FCC's Emergency Broadband Benefit will give you up to $50 per month toward broadband service, and up to $75 per month for people on tribal lands. Some families may also qualify for a $100 credit for a computer or tablet.
