Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and Trade Readjustment Allowances (TRA)

Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC)

HCTC is a Federal Tax credit program administered by the IRS for participants eligible for the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) Program.

You will not be eligible for HCTC benefits until you have received your determination from Unemployment.

This is not an insurance plan. It is a tax credit that will help make your health insurance premiums more affordable. This credit this cannot be applied to separate vision and dental plans.

The purpose of HCTC is to cover the cost of health insurance for a limited time for individuals who are actively participating* in the Trade program.

*Actively participating means that you have met your deadline and you are receiving Unemployment or Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA) payments each calendar month.
