    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a new computer matching program with the Universal Service Administrative Company and the Utah Department of Workforce Services. This program aims to verify if applicants and subscribers for the Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) are eligible by checking if they receive certain benefits like SNAP and Medicaid. The verification process uses the National Verifier to ensure that those who qualify can receive discounts on broadband and voice services. The program begins on March 27, 2025, and will last for 18 months.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC wants to make sure that people who get discounts on phone and internet bills really need them, so they will check with a group in Utah to see if those people already get other help like food stamps.

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced a new computer matching program in collaboration with the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) and the Missouri Department of Social Services. This program aims to verify the eligibility of participants in the Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) by checking if they receive benefits from programs like SNAP or Medicaid. These benefits help individuals and families access discounts for broadband and voice services. The matching process involves sharing certain personal details, such as parts of a Social Security Number, to confirm eligibility.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to make sure people getting internet discounts really need them, so they will check with a company and a Missouri office to see if these people get help from other programs like food stamps. This means they’ll look at some private information to double-check things, but it’s not clear how they’ll keep everyone’s info super safe or fix mistakes.
