60.01 In general73
This section explains the calculation of the federal and state premium assistance of QHPs. A tax filer's federal premium assistance credit amount for a benefit year is the sum of the premium-assistance amounts determined under § 60.04 for all coverage months for individuals in the tax filer's household. State premium assistance, referred to throughout this rule as Vermont Premium Reduction, is defined in § 3.00 as a state subsidy paid directly to the QHP issuer to reduce monthly premiums for an eligible individual enrolled in a QHP through VHC. Vermont Premium Reduction is calculated using the same methodology as advance payment of the federal premium assistance credit and, as described in § 60.07, results in the premium contribution from an eligible individual being reduced by 1.5 percent.
