Yes. Insurance plans are the same on and off the Marketplace. But, if you buy insurance off the Marketplace, you will not be able to get help with the cost.
If you buy a plan on the Marketplace, you may qualify for a lower monthly cost (premium). About 8 out of 10 Arkansans enrolled in the past got help.
Your tax credit is based on current information about your income and household size.
Help with cost is based on your expected income, not last year’s income.
That’s why it’s so important to update your application. Make changes to your income and household you expect for next year. It's the only way to be sure you’ll get the right tax credit and other savings for the year.
Licensed experts in your area can help you compare the plans and enroll. Find help near you today.
