This bill, the "Ensuring Phone and Internet Access Through Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program Act of 2022," requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to submit annual reports to Congress on enrollment in the Lifeline program and the Affordable Connectivity Program, broken down by the specific qualifying programs that participants are enrolled in. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and report on the outreach and publicity efforts to promote participation and enrollment in these two programs. The Lifeline program and the Affordable Connectivity Program are government initiatives that help provide discounted phone and internet services to low-income households. The key provisions of this bill are aimed at improving the understanding and oversight of these important programs by requiring detailed reporting on enrollment and promotional efforts.
