Evidence

"If Congress does not provide additional funding, April is the last month the full ACP benefit will be provided."

FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel told Congress the ACP was winding down for lack of additional appropriations, with April 2024 the last full month of the benefit and households facing bill changes afterward.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promised outcome was not delivered. Official program sources show the Affordable Connectivity Program ended on June 1, 2024 because Congress did not provide additional funding, so the program was not restarted and internet bills were not lowered through ACP renewal. Lucy McBath did make a serious legislative effort: Congress.gov shows she cosponsored H.R. 6929, the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024, but that bill was only introduced and referred to committee on January 10, 2024 and never became law. Under a federal legislative standard, that supports effort credit but not delivery.
