Hello HMP Connections Members!

Attached are materials that could be used for mailer inserts,
fliers/posters or in newsletters.  Some of the materials are in Spanish,
too.

The Emergency Broadband Benefit Program
<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.getemergencybroadband.org__;!!HYmSToo!Jm7HDbybgzXE5odH_2LKZn8xU8vvADsPTv269u6Klr7S-DwQsKtf2RkER6BLQ04$>
(EBBP) provides households with a discount of up to $50 a month off of a
household's internet bill. That increases to $75 a month for those living
on tribal lands. Eligible households can also get a one-time discount of
$100 toward the purchase of a laptop, tablet or desktop computer through
participating providers.

The program’s enrollment began on May 12 and we already have 115,000+ North
Carolina households that have signed on! A household qualifies if the
household’s income is at or less than 135 percent of federal poverty
guidelines. A household can also qualify if at least one member:

   - Participates in a federal benefits program,  such as Medicaid, SNAP,
   or Lifeline
   - Receives benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch
   program,
   - Lost a job or a significant amount of income in the past year,
   - Received a Federal Pell Grant, or
   - Is part of an internet service provider’s low-income or COVID-19
   program.

We’d love your help in getting this information distributed to audiences
who may be able to participate in the program.
