1. What's the EBB Program?
The Emergency Broadband Benefit (EBB) is a government program facilitated through the FCC to help families and households struggling to afford phone and/or internet service due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the carrier or ISP, you may be entitled to free or discounted recurring charges. Households interested should familiarize themselves with the program, and upcoming changes [getemergencybroadband.org] (beginning 12/31/21) by visiting the FCC's official EBB program page [fcc.gov].

2. What's in the deal?
If you qualify, you get unlimited talk & text + 35GB of data for free. There is no credit card
required, though you do need to submit proof of eligibility. You can select the BYOD option or purchase a new smartphone at a discounted price.
You must activate your plan by 12/31/2021 in order to take advantage of this 35GB deal until March. In March, the free data allotment will drop to 7GB of 5G/4G data + unlimited data 3G speeds (512kbps). You will be automatically switched to this free plan.

3. What if I activate after 12/31/2021?
You can still receive the 100% free service, though the free data allotment will be 7GB of 5G/4G data + unlimited data at 3G speeds (512kbps)
Other alternatives do your research
4. How do I know if I qualify?
A household is eligible if a member of the household meets one of the criteria below:
● Experienced a substantial loss of income due to job loss or furlough since February 29,
2020 and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers
and $198,000 for joint filers;
● Participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or Lifeline;
● Has an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
● Approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or
the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility
Provision in the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school year;
● Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year;
● Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income or
COVID-19 program.

5. How do I submit proof of my eligibility?
At the end of the application, you'll be directed to the National Verifier. Here you will submit
your proof of eligibility. This step must be completed in order to qualify.

6. What network does this work on?
This deal works on Boost Mobile's expanded data network.

7. Is my phone compatible with Boost?
Most popular, unlocked GSM phones can be activated on our network. You can visit
https://my.boostmobile.com/learn-more to check your device's compatibility.

8. Is this only for existing Boost Mobile customers?

No, this offer is for anyone who qualifies.

9. Will I ever get charged for this service?
No. There is never any payment from the customer to Boost Mobile for EBBP. Customers for EBBP never even provide a credit card so therefore a charge will never occur.

It's 35GB. The website shows, "FREE Boost Mobile 35GB phone plan or mobile broadband plan valued at $50/mo."

Quote from tedcruz :

Yes, Boost uses T-Mobile; it used to be on Sprint's network until Sprint merged with T-Mobile.

I hope this helps,
Tofu Vic

I know someone who has EBB mobile service for free with ATT prepaid. They told me in March it is going to change from $50 per month benefit to only 30 per month. So anyone using the EBB benefit should be either prepared to pay more out-of-pocket or lower your plan sometime in March.

Details at link below.

BTW, as of Jan 1st, TMo limits service to phones that support VoLTE.

That made my existing Sprint Sanyo flip phone incompatible. And no support for my Moto Z2 Force, either.

Quote from dima13 :
I'm already enrolled in the ebbp program through xfinity saving $50 per month, can one enroll for this as well? Trying to read online but super confusing, anyone know??
No you can't. Only one service discount per household. The device discount is a one time $100 off for a cheap laptop/chromebook, but you can only get it through your EBB provider, i.e., they have to administer it.

"The Emergency Broadband Benefit is limited to one monthly service discount and one device discount per household."

Hey Y'all!

If you qualify for this offer, you get 35GB​/mo of data if you activate before March. In March, the data allotment will drop to 7GB/mo of data. You will still receive Unlimited Talk & Text throughout the entire time you are activated on this program.

Hope this clears some stuff up!
