NEW 2021 HEALTH INSURANCE RATES
Lowest rates since the start of Obamacare!
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) increases the subsidy amounts for all currently subsidy-eligible consumers, and subsidies may now be available for those earning over 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL).
The law increases premium tax credits for all income brackets for coverage years beginning in 2021 and 2022. For 2021 and 2022, the law applies a new premium percentage owed by individuals and families at all household income levels.
Individuals and families may be eligible for a temporary increase in premium tax credits for this year, with no one paying more than 8.5% of their household income towards the cost of the benchmark plan or a less expensive plan. Meaning, many consumers will be eligible for higher tax credit amounts to help cover their Marketplace health plan premiums.
Of note, most people across all household income levels will see lower premiums as a result of receiving more tax credits to reduce plan prices. Many consumers with household incomes from 100% to 150% FPL would have $0 premium plans (after tax credits) available to choose from when considering their options and selecting a plan.
