Under the Affordable Care Act, all individual coverage is guarantee issue and renewability. Rates are based on location, age, and tobacco use.

The individual must purchase their health plan through the Marketplace in order to qualify for a tax credits (premium subsidy) or cost sharing.

 

Tax Credits & Cost Sharing

The Federal Poverty Level (FPL) is a measure of household income the government uses to determine eligibility for health insurance subsidies.

 

Tax Credits are designed to lower monthly costs of health insurance (premium subsidy). Households with income between 100% and 400% of the FPL may qualify for these tax credits.

 

Cost Sharing reductions actually increase the benefits of the health plan. If a household income is between 100% and 250% of the FPL they may also qualify for cost sharing. They must enroll in a Silver plan to get cost sharing.
