Free COVID-19 Test Kit via the USPS
The U.S. government, through the United States Postal Service (USPS), has been distributing free at-home COVID-19 test kits to households across the country. This initiative, first launched in early 2022, was designed to help Americans monitor and control the spread of COVID-19, especially during periods of heightened infection rates.
​
In September 2023, the Biden administration revived this program in response to the rise in COVID-19 cases due to new variants. Households were again eligible to receive a free set of four rapid at-home tests, delivered directly to their doors. To order the tests, you could simply visit COVID.org and provide basic shipping details.
​
Beware of scammer sites. The test kits are absolutely FREE (you don't even need to pay for shipping), so you'll never be asked for bank or credit card details.
