Who can buy a Catastrophic Plan?

In general, Catastrophic plans may only be sold to young adults under the age of 30. However, there are certain financial hardship and affordability exemptions for people ages 30 and older, including if there is no qualified health plan offered on or off the Marketplace that would cost less than 8.05% of their income in 2026, or if they are not eligible for premium tax credits or cost-sharing reductions based on their projected annual income.
