Marketplace enrollees with household incomes under 400% of the federal poverty line will receive tax credits to help pay their Arizona health insurance premium. Many enrollees above 400% of the poverty line will receive tax credits as well and will not pay more than 8.5% of their household income. Most individuals within 133% – 200% of the poverty line qualify for a $0 premium Silver Cost Share Reduction plan.
The Federal Poverty Limit (FPL)
2022: Those below 150% of FPL are eligible for zero-premium plans, restrictions apply. If an individual makes below approximately $30K a year, they likely qualify. Couples and families have higher income limits.
If your income is between 150% and 400% of the poverty line you probably qualify for premium assistance. An individual making approximately $54K a year likely qualifies, $73K if a couple.
Those making over 400% of the poverty line may still receive premium assistance if their premium payments are over 8.5% of their income.
