MTRJ75 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 For whoever needs this, I was recently informed of a government discount on internet for low income/disabled people. Being on disability qualifies me. It was a very quick application process and then you just give the app # to your service provider after they qualify you. https://www.affordableconnectivity.gov/ I'm getting my internet for basically free.

MTRJ75 Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 It's a disability and low income topic, which, unfortunately, coincides all too often with dysautonomia. Nobody's selling anything, so I figured it was safe and useful to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyLove Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 @MTRJ75 Thanks!! I think I had actually tried to do this before, and got frustrated, but this time I tried it and was successful. Generally speaking, you have to earn less than $27,000/yr which I do. The next morning, I got a notice from Verizon that they were hiking my bill by 20 bucks. But hey, it felt good to feel like I was WINNING again, if only for a brief time. In Virginia, because I live on a modest disability income, I don't have to pay real estate taxes that would otherwise cost me over $6,000/yr. There's lots of red tape, but some people here might want to look into it, staying in my home means alot to me. And because I'm on Medicare and Blue Cross, I get back $800 a year, anybody who watches TV has probably heard that. But other than that, I pay full cost for practically everything, and as everybody knows, prices of everything have gone through the roof.

I definitely save 30 dollars, but with the Internet/Telephone/TV Package, my bill goes up every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
