Comcast has expanded eligibility for Internet Essentials, providing online access to low-income individuals. Veterans on assistance are encouraged to apply.
Comcast has expanded eligibility for its Internet Essentials program. The program ensures that low-income individuals have online access and in-home WiFi. This is important for veterans, especially considering the recent push for claims processing through the Department of Veterans Affairs website. We encourage eligible veterans to sign up and stay connected. Veterans may be eligible and can apply with VA pension or HUD-VASH documentation.
This program is not limited to only `veterans. Low-income individuals on public assistance programs, such as the National School Lunch Program, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, and others, may be eligible. This program is limited to households located in areas where Comcast provides internet service.
Applicants may qualify if:
The program provides an online learning portal for its users from basic to advanced skills. Some in-person classes may be available nearby also.
Visit the Internet Essentials website to apply and get more information.
“Understandably, veterans can be wary and not trust us immediately – especially if they are women or struggling with mental health conditions. This isn’t only about getting veterans housed; we’re also establishing relationships with them out where they feel the safest – which may be in their tent or on a bench they frequent. It’s worth it to come out here determined to make a connection.” - Tonya Greenlee, Swords’ Outreach
