You can get a free tablet from Rogue Mobile by following these steps.

  • Navigate to the application page.
  • Fill out the application form and the Household worksheet.
  • Submit the application and the household worksheet with other documents.
  • Wait for approval.
  • If approved, enjoy your tablet.

Here is a step-by-step process on how you can get a free tablet with free internet from Rogue Mobile.

Eligibility Requirements for the Rogue Mobile Free Tablet ACP Program

The Affordable Connectivity Program is open to all American citizens who are above 18 years of age. We can present the eligibility for the affordable Connectivity program in two ways. These are Participation-based criteria and Income-based Criteria.

Program Participation-based Eligibility

If you or someone in your household participates in or takes benefits from any of the following Government assistance programs, then you or the person in your household is considered to be eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program. The assistance programs are as follows:

  • SNAP
  • WIC
  • Medicaid
  • Supplemental Security Income
  • Federal Public Housing Assistance (including Section 8, Project-Based Rental Assistance, Public Housing, and more)
  • Veterans or Survivors Pension Benefit
  • Receiving a federal Pell Grant in the current award year
  • Free and reduced-price school Lunch or Breakfast Programs including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision schools
  • Tribal Specific Programs: Bureau of Indian Affairs General Assistance
  • Tribal Head Start (with income qualifying standard)
  • Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (Tribal TANF)
  • Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations

Income Based Eligibility

As the Affordable Connectivity Program is launched to help low-income people get free devices along with free internet, it is obvious that the program will set a limit on income. If your or your household’s annual income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, then you or the household is considered to be eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program.

The eligibility criteria are flexible. You may either qualify by income-based criteria or program participation-based criteria. You only have to participate in any one of the above programs to be eligible.

Here is a question that arises: if you get Lifeline benefits, then can you receive the ACP benefits? The answer is ‘yes’. You can receive both benefits. If you are already enrolled in Lifeline, then you are qualified for the ACP also. You just need to apply for the ACP and if approved you will get both benefits from the same provider or the different providers as you prefer.

Required Documents for The Affordable Connectivity Program

An ACP-eligible person needs to submit documents to prove his/her eligibility for the program. So, you also need to submit these documents. The documents may include your income status, age, emancipation status, program participation status, identity, and address. Your submitted documents prove that you are eligible for the ACP by income, or by program participation, and ensure that the benefits are distributed properly and to the correct person.

  • Documents to verify identity: For the proper distribution of the ACP benefits, the FCC must verify your identity to be sure that you are the correct person to receive the ACP benefits. Identity verification also helps to prevent false applications and ensure genuine persons apply for the program.
    • Documents: A Driver’s license, Passport, or Birth certificate.
  • Documents to verify Age/Emancipation Status: A major criterion for the ACP is that an applicant must be 18 years of age or over. If you are under 18, then you must be an emancipated minor. You have to submit a document that mentions your full name and date of birth. And if you are an emancipated minor, then you must submit documents to prove your emancipation status.
    • Documents: A valid ID, Passport, Birth certificate, or Emancipation certificate.
  • Documents to verify Address: You have to submit a document that contains your full name, your physical address, and your email address. This document is needed to verify your address and ensure that the ACP benefits reach the correct destination.
    • Documents: A valid ID, Driver’s license, Utility bill, or a Recent mortgage or lease statement, W-2, or Tax return.
  • Documents to prove your Income: You have to submit a document to prove that your income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. This document confirms your income-based eligibility.
    • Documents: A prior year’s State, Federal, or Tribal tax return, Current income statement from your employer, Paycheck stub, Social Security statement of benefits, or Unemployment or Worker’s Compensation statement of benefits.
  • Documents to prove your participation in certain government programs: Previously I mentioned that to be eligible for the ACP, you must participate or take benefits from certain government programs. So you need to submit a document that proves your enrollment in the program. The document must contain your full name, the program’s name, the document issuing institution’s name, and a valid date.
    • Documents: Approval letters, Benefit award letters, Benefit verification letters, or Benefit statements.

Keep in mind that you have to provide documents to prove that you are alive and also to prove your social security number.

Also, keep in mind that you should not submit the original documents, instead submit copy documents, because your submitted documents are unreturnable.
