Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC)
PBGC payees who are 55 or older and enrolled in a qualified health plan may be able to receive the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) to help cover a portion of the cost of their family's monthly health care premiums.
An individual may receive the tax credit each month or at the end of the year for as long as they continue to meet eligibility requirements.
