Early Retirees

I’m 63 and about to retire. I’ll be offered a retiree health plan. Can I look for better coverage and subsidies in the Marketplace instead?

Yes. If you want to obtain coverage through the Marketplace, you may do so, and if your income is at least 100% of the Federal Poverty Level, you may be eligible for premium tax credits. Eligibility for retiree coverage will not affect your eligibility for Marketplace coverage and subsidies.
