HRSA/HAB ACA Policies on Tax Reconciliation
• Ryan White program grantees and sub-grantees must vigorously pursue any excess premium tax credit a client receives from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) upon submission of the client’s tax return
o Recovered excess premium tax credit refunds are not considered program income. Grantees must use recovered excess premium tax credits in the Health Insurance Premium and Cost-sharing Assistance service category in the grant year when the refund is received by the grantee or sub-grantee.
![Page 5: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ... IRS](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72fd4be11098055d101102/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
HRSA/HAB ACA Policies on Tax Reconciliation
• NEW PCN 14-01 and Frequently Asked Questions:
oHRSA will allow RWHAP grantees to cover client tax liabilities associated with an overpayment of the premium tax credit.
o The payment to the IRS must be made from funds available in the year when the tax liability is due, even if the premiums that generated the tax liability were incurred in a previous funding year.
o Programs are responsible for establishing and maintaining policies and procedures for coordinating payments to the IRS (direct payments to clients are prohibited).
o Programs may only pay the amount directly attributed to the reconciliation of the premium tax credits; under no circumstances can Ryan White Program funds be used to pay the fee/penalty for a client’s failure to enroll in minimum essential coverage.

Quick Review:Premium Tax Credit (PTC) Eligibility
1. To enroll in an Marketplace Qualified Health Plan you must be: • Citizen or lawfully present

Marketplace

Advance:
• Premium Tax Credit paid directly to the Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuer monthly. PTC is distributed evenly throughout the benefit year
• Individuals responsible for remaining monthly premium balance
Lump Sum:
• Individuals responsible for paying QHP premiums monthly
• Individuals receive PTC as a lump sum upon filing federal taxes
Quick Review:PTC Advance vs. Lump Sum
Best Practice:Require clients to accept the PTC as an advance

for ADAP enrollment and recertification
![Page 11: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ...

Quick Review:Lifecycle of Premium Tax Credits
2012 2013 2014 2015
Client earns income
Client files taxes and generates a MAGI for the 2012 tax year
Client receives PTC based on a projection of their income based on 2012 MAGI
Client files taxes and reconciles projected MAGI with actual MAGI earned in 2014
Best Practices:• Encourage clients to report changes
in income and life circumstances to the Marketplace
• Develop process to iteratively check-in with clients regarding changes in income or life circumstance

Murray
• When Murray applied for 2014 Marketplace coverage with advance premium tax credits (APTC) in October of 2013, his MAGI was $27,000 (235% FPL)o Murray gets $865 in APTC/annually
• BUT, Murray changed his job mid-way through the year and failed to report this to the Marketplaceo When Murray files his taxes, his MAGI ends up being
$11,000 (95% FPL)• Note: Murray lives in a non-Medicaid expansion state
• Special rule: because Murray was eligible for APTCs when he applied, he is actually owed a refund (he expected contribution is 2% of his annual income)o Murray is entitled to APTC of $2,724/annually
Murray will get a refund from the IRS in the amount of $1,859

Considerations for Families
![Page 34: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ...

Considerations for Families
• If a client is filing a joint tax return, but enrolled as an individual in a health plan
oEach spouse will receive a Form 1095-A, which will delineate how the APTC was allocated across the plans
![Page 35: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ... IRS](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042012/5e72fd4be11098055d101102/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Considerations for Families
• After determining the refund or repayment amount for the family, you must calculate the client’s refund or repayment
APTC for Client: $ 700
APTC for Spouse: $1200
Total APTC: $1900
Client received 37% of APTC for the Family
![Page 36: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ...

Considerations for Families
Total Refund: $2000
Client share of APTC: x 37%
Client Share of refund: $736

Considerations for Non-filers
![Page 38: Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP ... · Navigating Premium Tax Credit Reconciliation: ADAP Policies & Best Practices Xavior Robinson and Emily McCloskey, ...

Considerations for Non-filers
• Clients who fail to file taxes risk the loss of their PTC in future benefit years
• ADAPs should not dis-enroll clients who received the APTC and fail to file taxes
• ADAPs can cease insurance and transfer clients to full-pay medication
Best Practice:Encourage clients to file taxes• The IRS has flexible and affordable repayment plans for those
who owe tax liabilities• The fear of filing taxes may be unfounded: many low-income
people may be eligible for additional tax credits that could offset any perceived liabilities
