ACA Premium Tax Credits
ACA Premium Tax Credits (also called Premium Tax Credits or PTCs) help low- and middle-income individuals and families afford health insurance purchased through the ACA Marketplace by reducing monthly premium costs. The credit amount is based on household income relative to the Federal Poverty Level — households earning between 100% and 400% of FPL are eligible, and under enhanced provisions through 2025, higher-income households may also qualify. Credits can be applied in advance to reduce monthly premiums or claimed as a lump sum when filing taxes.

Child Care Subsidies — Social Services Block Grant
The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) provides flexible federal funds to states that may be used, among many purposes, to fund child care services and child welfare programs for low-income families. States have wide discretion in how they use SSBG funds and are not required to report expenditure categories, so the availability of SSBG-funded child care subsidies varies considerably by state and locality. Families should contact their state or county social services agency to learn what SSBG-funded child care assistance may be available in their area.
