2022, 2023, and 2024 | Federal Poverty Levels (FPL) For ACA Coverage
The federal poverty level is $14,580 for an individual ($30,000 for a family of 4) for 2024 coverage. The federal poverty level is $13,590 for an individual ($27,750 for a family of 4) for 2023 coverage. The federal poverty level is $12,880 for an individual ($26,500 for a family of 4) for 2022 coverage.[1][2][3]
The maximum amount to get tax credits is 400% of the poverty level. In typical years if you go over 400% by any amount, you’ll have to pay back tax credits. Although, until 2025, there is no limit on premium subsidy caps, and therefore, you don’t need to repay.
You may also qualify for Medicaid if you make less than 138% of the poverty level, depending on your state (or even more for CHIP).
TIP: See the full 2021 poverty guidelines, 2022 poverty guidelines, and 2023 poverty guidelines for more detailed information.
