Payback of advance subsidy for Obamacare
We signed up for market place last yr and picked a policy we could afford. Had no idea about subsidy. Come Jan renewal the cost tripled. I called marketplace they said my income dropped by 6,000 and the difference in subsidy was the upcharge to me per month. Obviously i cancelled the policy.
I got a letter saying I owed $10 000 to pay back the monthly advance payment of premium tax credit…
The monthly enrollment premiums for yr was $12,061.20
My silver plan for yr was 14,084.40
Monthly advance payment premium tax credit was $10,716.50. This the amount they say we have to pay back. If I knew the policy was $1 000 a month or I could take subsidy and pay it back I would never have taken policy. On top of not being able to even get the major test I needed to have done due to covid, We basically paid for nothing…
We are devastated ????.
What can we do to get this reduced.
