Lawmakers Float Bill for Voucher Program to Help Close Digital Divide
The Washington Informer, Stacy M. BrownSeptember 14, 2021

In the increasingly digital world, internet services and the devices to access them have quickly become essential to participate in the 21st-century economy.

The coronavirus pandemic has further demonstrated this need and underscored the stark disparities that currently exist in the United States.

Against that backdrop, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and Rep. Donald McEachin (D-Va.) have introduced the Device Access for Every American Act to ensure more Americans can afford connected devices.

The bicameral legislation would authorize the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a program to administer up to $400 vouchers for low-income Americans to purchase laptops, tablets, and desktop computers.

“It is nearly impossible to get by without access to a laptop or tablet—especially after a year of adjusting to virtual learning, working, and more,” Warnock said. “For that, I am incredibly proud to introduce the Device Access for Every American Act, which ensures that every American — regardless of income or zip code — can participate and thrive in our increasingly digital economy.
