Turner Introduces Bill to Reauthorize Health Coverage Tax Credit Through 2030

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Mike Turner (OH-10), along with Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11), and Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI-8), introduced the Health Coverage Tax Credit Reauthorization Act of 2026, legislation to extend the Health Coverage Tax Credit through January 1, 2030. The legislation amends the Internal Revenue Code to extend the credit's eligibility window and can apply to months beginning after December 31, 2021. "The Health Coverage Tax Credit has been critical for Delphi Salaried Retirees and other Americans whose pensions and benefits were reduced through no fault of their own," said Congressman Turner . "These men and women deserve certainty, stability, and access to affordable health care. This legislation extends that support and helps ensure they are not left behind, and I will continue to fight for this until it is returned to them." "Through no fault of their own, thousands of Michigan Delphi retirees were robbed of the retirements they earned. They did everything right - worked hard, played by the rules, saved - and now that they are retired, they shouldn't have to go back to work just to see a doctor," said Congresswoman McDonald Rivet . "Extending the Health Coverage Tax Credit will go a long way toward lowering health care costs for thousands of retirees in Michigan at a time when they really need it." "Too many hardworking Americans, including Delphi Salaried Retirees in NY-24, were left without affordable health coverage when the Health Coverage Tax Credit expired," said Congresswoman Tenney. "These are individuals who played by the rules, only to see their pensions cut and their health care put at risk through no fault of their own. The HCTC has been a critical lifeline, covering a significant share of premium costs and providing stability during difficult transitions. Reauthorizing and extending this program ensures these workers and retirees are not left behind and can access the care they need while we continue working to deliver the full relief and fairness they deserve." "Michiganders who worked their entire lives deserve affordable, reliable health care in their retirement. The Health Coverage Tax Credit would be a lifeline for thousands of Michigan workers and retirees, including the Delphi Salaried Retirees, who lost their pensions through no fault of their own," said Congresswoman Stevens. " I'm proud to support this bipartisan effort to lower costs and ensure retirees get the coverage they've earned, and I will keep fighting to restore their pensions in full and fulfill the promise of retirement for every American who earned it." The Health Coverage Tax Credit has helped eligible Americans maintain access to health care especially when faced with disruption and uncertainty. Reauthorizing this program will help preserve that support and give families greater confidence as they plan for the future. The Health Coverage Tax Credit Reauthorization Act of 2026 extends the current deadline in federal law by replacing the prior cutoff with a new expiration date of January 1, 2030.
