MNsure has completed the process of updating premium tax credit eligibility for individuals who are currently eligible for a tax credit – households with income at or below 400% of the federal poverty level (FPL).

For consumers who were enrolled in a plan through MNsure in April and eligible for advanced premium tax credit (APTC):

• The increased tax credit amount has been applied beginning with May coverage (if they continue to be enrolled).
• Due to the timing of this update, the increased tax credit for May will not be applied to their May invoice, but the increased amount for May will be applied to a future invoice(s) according to the health insurance company’s policies.
• The increased tax credit will be on their June invoices. No action is needed to receive the updated benefits.
• The consumer’s full tax credit amount is automatically applied. If the consumer does not want to receive their full tax credit in advance, they must log in to their online account and update the amount being applied.
• Consumers may receive two notices. The first is an auto generated health care eligibility notice. If a consumer is enrolled, no action is needed to receive the updated tax benefits. The second notice will inform them that their APTC has been updated, but it will not provide the amount of the increased APTC. Consumers can log into their METS account to see their increased APTC amount.

For consumers who applied prior to April 3 but are not currently enrolled:

• Consumers may receive two notices. The first is an auto-generated health care eligibility notice. The consumer may need to provide updates before they can enroll. The second notice will inform them that their APTC has been updated, but it will not provide the amount of the increased APTC. Consumers can log into their METS account to see their increased APTC amount and to find out if additional action is needed.
• Consumers can enroll for June coverage using the COVID-19 special enrollment period.
