Makes sense. I told the rep my family size is 1 as of last year, but maybe the IRS thinks differently...??? THX
Ha! Well, the number one with no income should certainly put you in their “approved” category.
They still should have given you a clear explanation of why you would not qualify for tax credits or even Medicaid. Seems strange.
There is always that process of appeal the Marketplace allows...if you have the energy for it.
But obviously, you have a case for coverage. Maybe the Rep you spoke with was not..uh, trained properly, or something like that. If you really want to pursue it, sounds like there is no reason why you shouldn’t get their discount premiums, according to what you’ve stated here.
There are many online articles which give the basics of the requirements for ACA insurance. It’s easy to google and find out. From what you’ve said so far, I think you would definitely qualify for the tax credits or at least Medicaid.
