The Affordable Care Act (ACA) created state and federal health care Marketplaces where eligible individuals can buy private health care plans and receive subsidies to assist with the cost of monthly premiums and other expenses. Health plans available on the Marketplaces are classified as bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, based on how the plans and covered individuals share the cost of care. The subsidies are based on income and are administered through the tax system.
Lawfully present immigrants are generally eligible for the Marketplaces and subsidies, with some exceptions. This document provides a brief overview of Marketplace eligibility and verification.
