ACP

Where do I send my ACP recertification? I was approved a couple weeks ago but I'm still getting emails from Xfinity saying I need to do the recertification. So do I need to send something somewhere?

Hello @user_363b57. Appreciate you reaching out! ACP we have a dedicated team that handles the enrollment for this program. Below I included the contact information to touch base with the team. 

Internet Essentials please call (1-855-846-8376).

I was experiencing the same problem. I then realized that I had applied to the lifeline program instead of the ACP. Lifeline only pays $9.95 a month compared to the $30 that the ACP allows. To correct the problem I had to shutdown my lifeline application. Then I reapplied for the ACP program and BINGO! My problem was solved.

There is no help at this phone number  (1-855-846-8376). 

Only an AI bot that leads you in circles and provides no assistance at all with ACP recertification.

Thanks for sharing your concerns, @user_6a2118! Please review the FAQs listed at the bottom of this page.

 

Under "Why am I being asked to recertify my eligibility for ACP?", you should see the following:

 

Each year, the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) must confirm your continued eligibility for the ACP benefit. If USAC is unable to confirm your continued eligibility through its automated database, you will be contacted with next steps on what you must do to recertify your ACP eligibility. If you do not recertify within the time period provided by USAC, you will be removed from ACP, lose your ACP credit, and be responsible for the full cost of your Internet service.

 

You can learn more about USAC's ACP recertification process here. You can also contact USAC's ACP Support Center by emailing ACPSupport@usac.org or calling (877) 384-2575.

 

Please let me know if this helps!

Hello. I have been approved for the ACP Program but all attempts to have it applied to my Internet result in referrals to phone numbers with recorded messages that don't apply to my request for the discount or I'm being getting rerouted to another website that just has a blank screen. I have made this attempt several times going back to when the program was started a couple years ago. It is now February 2023. But still can't get solid information from Comcast. Based on what I see in the forums, it's looking like Comcast does not want to give some customers access to the discount whether they are approved by Lifeline, National Verifier or National Verifier. I'm an existing customer for about 10 years and now approved for this discount. Please help!

@user_3223dc I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble getting the ACP credit applied to your account. We certainly want to prohibit any options available for our customers to receive help, especially in the last few years. Unfortunately, our team here has limited access to assist with the ACP application and would refer you to speak with our dedicated team over the phone. If possible, I would recommend pressing "#" or "0" to skip any prompts that are stopping you from connecting with a rep.

On January 4th, I applied for ACP after initiating switching to the Internet Essentials Plus plan.

January 9th, I informed the Internet Essentials Plus people that I got my ACP approval. They informed me that after a couple of days, I would see the $30 ACP credit which I did on January 11.

As of today, February 19, I still don't have the $29.95 plan and I never saw a second $30 ACP credit. 

To add insult to injury, Xfinity has raised the rate on my current plan, an expensive plan I probably never needed in the first place!

My name is Clifford [Edited: personal information], and I am extremely angry. One might say livid.
