The Health Coverage Tax Credit and the COBRA Subsidy

The Health Coverage Tax Credit and the COBRA Subsidy

Some people who are eligible for the COBRA subsidy, which has been extended through Feburary also qualify for the health coverage tax credit (HCTC) and may want to choose this more generous benefit, instead. The HCTC pays 80 percent of health insurance premiums for those who qualify. Eligible individuals must be receiving Trade Adjustment Assistance benefits or be over the age of 55 and receiving pension payments from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Individuals must also be enrolled in a qualified health plan.
