ACA Subsidies: Eligibility and How to Qualify
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has helped millions of Americans get affordable health insurance coverage. One of the key components of the ACA is the availability of subsidies to help people pay for their premiums. These subsidies are available to individuals and families who meet certain income requirements.
What are ACA subsidies?
ACA subsidies are tax credits that can be used to reduce the cost of your monthly health insurance premiums. The amount of the subsidy you qualify for will depend on your income and family size.
Am I eligible for an ACA subsidy?
To be eligible for an ACA subsidy, you must meet the following requirements:
You must be a U.S. citizen or legal resident
You cannot be incarcerated
Your income must be between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL)
You must not have access to affordable health insurance through an employer or government program
How do I apply for an ACA subsidy?
You can apply for an ACA subsidy when you enroll in health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Marketplace is a government website where you can compare and purchase health insurance plans from different insurers.
When you apply for health insurance through the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide information about your income and family size. This information will be used to determine if you are eligible for an ACA subsidy. If you are eligible, the subsidy will be applied to your monthly premiums.
What if I don’t qualify for an ACA subsidy?
If you don’t qualify for an ACA subsidy, you may still be able to get affordable health insurance through the Marketplace. There are a number of plans available with low premiums and deductibles. You can also get help paying for your premiums through Medicaid or CHIP.
