Business Insider
"How can I tell if I qualify for Trump's $500 ACA refund check?" is a question on many Americans' minds. To break it down, the American Rescue Plan Act signed into law by President Biden includes a provision for up to $500 in ACA refund checks for qualifying individuals and families.
Here's what you need to know:
-
Who Qualifies: You may be eligible for a refund check if you filed your 2021 tax return and had a net premium tax credit through the ACA Marketplace. The credit helps lower the cost of health insurance premiums.
-
States Receiving Refunds: As of [the last update], the following states are expected to receive the refunds: California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, and Massachusetts. However, it's important to note that eligibility and distribution can change.
"Remember that, the IRS will directly deposit the refund into your bank account if you have direct deposit information on file. Otherwise, they'll send a check in the mail."
