Summary

The bill orders the Federal Communications Commission to launch a competitive grant program that gives money to states, territories and Indian tribes to reach people who qualify for the Lifeline broadband discount but are not enrolled. Grant funds must be used to tell these individuals they may be eligible, explain how to apply, and partner with community groups to provide application help. The aim is to boost enrollment among low‑income households.
