The following charts calculate the health insurance tax subsidies and estimated premium amounts, by family size and household income.
What are the Health Insurance Tax Subsidies?
Starting January 1, 2014, health insurance tax subsidies will be available for individuals and families whose household income falls between 138%- 400% Federal Poverty Level. Those who are eligible for advance tax credit subsidies, fall between 138% and 250% FPL and enroll in “Silver” plans through their state marketplace may additional be eligible for cost sharing subsidies. Please speak to an agent for additional details.
The subsidies will cap the cost of health insurance at 2% – 9.5% of household income, if household income is up to 400% above the federal poverty line (FPL).
Individuals are only eligible for tax subsidies if they are not offered qualified, affordable group health insurance through an employer.
