Finally, Some information
(more info available on the FCC website):

The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) is a temporary FCC program designed to help households struggling to afford internet service during the pandemic. Through EBB, eligible households could temporarily receive up to $50/month discount for broadband services and a one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet purchased through a participating provider. 


The program is open to all low-income families (not just those with school-age children) as well as any family that has a student attending a CEP School.
Please note: This is not a school-affiliated program.  This is a temporary program through the FCC.  If you have questions, please use the contact information listed below to contact their program directly.  Before families apply, it is important to understand that the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program will end when the fund runs out of money or six months after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services declares an end to the COVID-19 health emergency, whichever is sooner. Participating households will need to opt-in to continue receiving broadband services from their provider after the program ends.  If a household chooses to continue receiving service after the end of the EBB, they will be billed the broadband provider’s general monthly rate.
