Yes. A consumer that applies using the “unassisted” path and enrolls in a QHP through MNsure may qualify for premium tax credits when they file their federal income tax return. All households who enroll in a QHP through MNsure, regardless of whether members of the household received financial assistance, will receive IRS Form 1095-A. When a consumer files a federal tax return, they must use the 1095-A to claim the premium tax credit.
In order for the consumer to receive advanced premium tax credits, the consumer will need to contact MNsure so we can close their case and have them reapply using the “assisted” application. If eligible, the consumer can then receive advanced premium tax credits for the remainder of the plan year.
