What is the Access from AT&T program and how do I know if I’m eligible?

Access from AT&T is a low-cost program for home internet access in the 21 states where we offer wireline home internet services to limited income households who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits in California.

In response to the public health crisis, Access from AT&T is temporarily expanding eligibility based on income and to households participating in National School Lunch and Head Start Programs.

Actual service availability and speeds may vary by individual address. Eligibility for AT&T Internet service does not guarantee eligibility for Access from AT&T.
