Employer-Sponsored Health Coverage and the Marketplace

Does my eligibility for COBRA or other continuation coverage affect my eligibility for premium tax credits or cost-sharing reductions in the Marketplace?

No, just being eligible for COBRA doesn’t affect your eligibility for premium tax credits or cost-sharing reductions if you enroll in a Marketplace plan.

While we have made every effort to provide accurate information in these FAQs, people should contact the health insurance Marketplace or Medicaid agency in their state for guidance on their specific circumstances.
