Financial Assistance for Families with Employer Health Coverage

Thanks to recent changes, many more individuals and families can get financial help to access high-quality health coverage through HealthSource RI. You and/or others in your household may qualify for premium tax credits, even if you weren’t eligible before.

Previously, you and your household members may not have qualified for financial assistance through HealthSource RI if you were offered coverage through your employer. Due to new rules in 2023, you may still qualify for financial assistance in the form of premium tax credits if the health coverage your employer offers you and/or your family members is considered unaffordable based on federal guidelines.
