Tips for receiving “advanced premium tax credits” through CoverME.gov:

• You must provide every household member’s social security number.
• The premium tax credit is based on this year’s projected modified adjusted gross income. Many people struggle with this. Click here to learn more about what counts as taxable income. Click here to learn more about what counts as taxable income.
  
• Key thing to be aware of: You can go in and adjust your income during the year if your situation changes. For example, you receive an inheritance, and your income increases significantly. In this case, adjusting your income sooner rather than later is better. Come tax filing time the next year. You will be paying back premium tax credits because you earned more than you said you would earn.
• It is better to overstate your income than understate it. Either way – if you over-state, you will get money back; if you understate, you will have to pay back.
• CoverME will ask you to verify your income. This requires you to update proof that you will earn what you have stated on your application. Don’t ignore these notices. They will take away your premium tax credit if you don’t do it.
