Any info on internet for $10 a month if you recieve assistance

If you are retired an only have Social Security as a source of income are you eligible for the AT&T Access program. I have no SNAP or SSI, just regular Social Security.

The key criteria is, someone is getting food stamps. (SNAP)

There are others, but if you don't get snap, then they really don't matter.

You can click on the link if mythoughts post, and it will take you to the application site with all the qualifies.

I have it. As long as you have food stamps, it's easy to get.

Oh. before i forget, COMCAST has a program called internet essentials for seniors, and if you live in a certain part of the country (sorry, I don't know which) and you are on social security, You can qualify for it. (Normally, they require school age kids on the supliments food program from their local school. But, they are testing a pilot program for seniors.

the web site, cheapinternet.com lists the details for it, and other disadvantaced folks and programs.

Thank you for your answer. Sorry getting back to so late but I thought I would get an email indicating that there was an answer to my question. Alas, no email but I saw your reply when I came back to ask another question.

Much obliged,

Robert

My Name is Gina.  I want to know if you recieve Childsupport will you qualify for the service?

The ONLY  main entittlement criteria for the 10 dollars per month internet access is for someone in the household to receive food stamps, aka SNAP.

I can understand your confustion, however, as there are lifeline cell phone OR a home phone service discounts available, and their criteria is one of several public assistance criteria.

The key differance, one applies to voice phone service, and the 10 dollar one applies to wired internet service.

If you click the link for information on ATT's Access program, it will take you thru all the needed requirments, and an application to fill out, which will be evaluated and if approved, will contact you to set up service. (When i applied, it only took 72 hours.)

Good luck.
