An emergency government program designed to keep people connected to the internet is accepting applications.
Local leaders say the program, part of the December COVID-19 relief package, allows those who qualify to receive $50 off their monthly internet bill.
You can check out the eligibility requirements at GetEmergencyBroadband.org.
Participating providers in Louisiana include AT&T, Cox, Eatel, T-Mobile and Verizon.
Residents can also call (833) 511-0311 for a mail-in application.
