Automatically Qualified Health PlanActuaryThe law governing the HCTC (Health Coverage Tax Credit) program identifies three types of health coverage as automatically qualified for the purposes of the tax credit. These three options are automatically considered to meet the definition of qualified health coverage for all eligible individuals, without further state actions. 1) COBRA continuation coverage, unless the employer or former employer pays at least 50% of the cost of coverage. Any share of your premium that is paid by you or your spouse on a pre-tax basis is considered to have been paid by your employer and must be included as such when determining the percentage of employer coverage; 2) Individual coverage in which you were enrolled for at least the last 30 days before you were separated from the job that makes you eligible for TRA benefits, ATAA benefits, or for payments from the PBGC. (Individual coverage provided under a contract issued to one individual or family at a time usually requiring evidence of insurability and usually purchased through agents, brokers, or associations.); and 3) Your husband's or wife's insurance from work (also referred to as "spousal coverage"), as long as the employer contributes less than 50 percent of the total cost of coverage. Any share of your premium that is paid by you or your spouse on a pre-tax basis is considered to have been paid by your employer and must be included as such when determining the percentage of employer coverage. (At this time, you can only claim the credit with this type of coverage when you file your federal tax return and not in advance, unless it is COBRA coverage.) If you qualify for the HCTC under ATAA, you may claim the HCTC to pay for this type of coverage (other than COBRA, state-based continuation coverage, or a special insurance program entered into by your state and an employer designed to qualify for the HCTC) only if the employer does not pay for any portion of the cost of coverage.
