Bill Summary

This bill would extend and reauthorize a tax credit that helps certain workers—particularly those who lose their jobs or face trade-related layoffs—afford health insurance by reducing what they pay in premiums. The credit essentially gives eligible individuals a refundable tax break to make health coverage more affordable when they might otherwise go without insurance. The bill addresses a program that was set to expire, keeping this financial assistance available for vulnerable workers and their families.
