About

DC Government is working to connect up to 25,000 households with PK3-12th grade students enrolled at DC traditional and charter public schools that receive SNAP or TANF benefits.

Sign-Up Process

Eligible households will receive a call, text message, or email from DC Government asking if they’d like to join the program and for consent to share their name, address, phone number, and email with the internet provider that will be providing their service, either Comcast or RCN.  

At Home Internet

Depending on the internet coverage in the households area, the two programs available are Comcast Internet Essentials or RCN Internet First. Both services provide up to 25/3 Mbps access speeds for approximately $10/month. 

Eligibility

Households with students enrolled in grades PK3 - 12 currently receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). 

Who

This program is being managed by the DC Office of the Chief Technology Officer in partnership with the Deputy Mayor for Education and the Office of the State Superintendent.
