About the Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) program: The EBB is a temporary program that provides a discount of up to $50 per month ($75 on Tribal lands) off a qualifying households' internet bill. For eligible households there is the potential for a discount of up to $100 towards the purchase of a tablet, laptop or desktop computer from a participating provider so long as the eligible purchaser contributes more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase price.
