The Utility Discount Program (UDP) provides bill assistance for income-eligible customers. If your household income is at or below 70% of the state median income, the program helps you get current and stay current on utility payments by offering a discount of about 60% on your Seattle City Light bill and a 50% discount on your Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) bill. This discount is only available for residential City Light and SPU customers.

If you need immediate help with a past due balance, you may be able to receive emergency assistance.

Note: Gross Income is based on 70% of the state's median income. Gross household income is updated annually by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.

Not directly billed for your SPU utilities?

If you are a tenant whose SPU services are paid by a Condo Homeowners Association (HOA) or landlord, but you still receive a Seattle City Light bill, you can receive the following credits per month toward your electric bill:

All credits effective January 1, 2023 except for garbage and yard waste, which are effective April 1, 2023.

What is the Affordable Connectivity Program?

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a U.S. government program run by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to help low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices like a laptop or tablet.

You are likely eligible if your household's income is below 200% of the Federal Poverty Line, or if you or someone you live with currently receives a government benefit like SNAP, Medicaid, SSI, WIC, Pell Grant, or Free and Reduced-Price Lunch.

If your household is eligible, you could receive:

Up to a $30/month discount on your internet service

Up to a $75/month discount if your household is on qualifying Tribal lands

A one-time discount of up to $100 for a laptop, tablet, or desktop computer (with a co-payment of more than $10 but less than $50)

A low cost service plan that may be fully covered through the ACP*

* Through a separate non-FCC initiative, additional no cost plans may be available to Affordable Connectivity Program enrollees. To learn more please visit GetInternet.gov. Provision of a link to this initiative does not imply FCC endorsement of any particular participating provider.
Only one monthly service discount and one device discount is allowed per household. To receive the connected device discount, consumers need to enroll in the ACP with a participating provider that offers connected devices (Note: not all internet company offer device discounts.) The internet company will provide the discount to the consumer.
