From the FCC:
WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU ANNOUNCES REIMBURSEMENT RATE ESTIMATES FOR MAY 2024 AFFORDABLE CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM BENEFITS
WC Docket No. 21-450 In this Public Notice, the Wireline Competition Bureau (Bureau) reminds providers that May 2024 will be the last month for which providers will be able to seek reimbursement for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) benefits passed through to ACP households.1 We further remind providers that, absent additional funding from Congress, the ACP will not be able to reimburse providers for the full statutory benefit amount for service and device benefits applied to ACP service bills in May 2024.2 To allow providers to plan for May service month offerings and to provide notice to their ACP households regarding May 2024 ACP service, we list below an estimated reimbursement range for each benefit type, within which the partial reimbursement amount may fall.
