To be eligible for a free Chromebook, Garrett County households must have at least one full-time resident whose income falls within the income guidelines of 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. The income qualification levels are based on household size, ranging from $27,180 for a single-person household up to $83,820 for a seven-person household. Documentation such as government-issued identification, proof of residence, and income verification is required at the distribution events. Income can be verified by participation in various federal programs, such as Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, etc.
A simple application form is also required. Paper copies are available at each event or a form is available for download and print here: https://bit.ly/46DjMrM
