## Summary

**Broadens premium tax credit eligibility above the 400 percent federal poverty line for a temporary period.** The bill would also extend the period of higher premium assistance and tie that extension to a budget cap created by rescinding unobligated funds for assistance to Argentina. - Higher-income households: Households with incomes above 400 percent of the federal poverty line could qualify for premium tax credits for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025 and before the bill's budget-based "applicable date." - Marketplace enrollees: The timeframe during which premium assistance amounts are increased would be extended beyond the current limits, subject to the same applicable date that is set by a budget test. - Federal budget and foreign aid: The bill would rescind unobligated balances for Argentina assistance and requires the Treasury Secretary to use CBO/JCT-style estimates so the subsidy extension is limited by the savings from that rescission. *The bill is structured to avoid a net increase in the federal deficit by limiting premium credit extensions to the outlay savings from rescinding Argentina assistance.*
