A Series of Yes-or-No Questions help you Determine Eligibility for the Premium Tax Credit
The premium tax credit – also known simply as PTC – is a credit for certain people who enroll, or whose family member enrolls, in a qualified health plan offered through a Health Insurance Marketplace. Answer the yes-or-no questions in the chart – or via accessible text – and follow the arrows to find out if you may be eligible for the premium tax credit.
The current open season with the Health Insurance Marketplace is underway and runs through Jan. 31, 2017. You must enroll by Dec. 15, 2016 to have coverage begin on January 1, 2017.
Here are links to information and resources referenced in the graphic:
The Individual Marketplace has two applications for plan year 2017:
The shorter, streamlined Marketplace 2.0 Application can be used with consumers who have simple household situations. Consumers are automatically routed through the correct application process on HealthCare.gov for their situations—and to the correct application—based on their responses to the first few questions about their household’s composition.
We are all learning about this and we are happy to be of help to anyone in Texas.
