Relief fund can help many households get internet access
Good, high-speed internet access is more important now than ever for work, school, or just to stay in touch with friends and family, but it can be hard to fit in your budget. The Internet Access Support Program can help.
How the fund can help
This program is open to people who live in the greater KC region. It can help people of all ages:
Find affordable internet service
Pay off an old balance
Get caught up on your current internet service
Pay for internet service for six months
The program is only open to households with limited incomes. To qualify, you need to earn less than the program limits. Help is first come, first served, and funds are limited. Other restrictions may apply.
What you need to apply
Applicants will need to provide documentation to case managers for the fund. Having this information ready will help speed the process.
If you recently had internet or have unpaid balances, provide copies of your bills.
You will need to verify your income. That could be with paycheck stubs or documentation already provided for services like TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) or SSI (Social Security Supplemental Security Income).
You will be asked how the pandemic has affected your income
You will be asked how many people live in your household.
The funds are being administered by Mid America Assistance Coalition.
