Unenrolled from ebb email

I was approved by lifeline for EBB, and Xfinity adjusted my bill accordingly. Today, I received an email from Xfinity saying

There's been a change to your enrollment in the Federal Emergency Broadband Benefit program
 
We've received your request to unenroll from the temporary Federal Emergency Broadband Benefit program. This change will soon be reflected on an upcoming Xfinity bill.

II never made this request, what is this all about?

@XfinityMartin I checked and nothing has changed. My app# B79646-99272 was created 5/24/21. If something was wrong I would be notified by lifeline. Do not know what Xfinity is up to, but someone better find out.

I have the same issue. Somehow got through to a person (I think) on chat who told me there's nothing in my account that shows this, which tells me it's probably an Xfinity screw up but they're going to make us do the work to try and figure it out. The rep, after telling me there was nothing that indicated the change, told me to apply again, just to be "safe". When I went to do that, it got to the National Verifier field (which I don't remember doing initially), went to the site to fill all that out, I was told that it's not something done in Oregon. But how did it get done the first time? So I have no idea what to do now, as I'm pretty sure Xfinity will say to fill it out again, and I can't because of the verifier...So confused by all this...

I also received this email, but made no such request. I got the email the day after upgrading my internet service to the $50 level. Interesting timing.

I discovered that I can get help from EBB with either monthly internet (up to $50/mo) or I can get help with my phone (through Safelink). I chose to get the (up to $50/mo) on my internet.

@user_e45c32 Comcast rep told me to contact Internet Essentials Team 855 846-8376. So, I did and got a nice lady who I think understood the problem saying several customers received that email. She asked for my original application ID which I gave her, then verified my name, address, phone, etc. She found my app and sent me a text with a code number to verify it was me. Then sent a text link with a new application to approve. She basically reapplied my app and said I would get an email within 48 hours. So, we will see.
