More health credit when dependents work
If enacted, some wages and self-employment earnings of certain dependents would not count when figuring your Marketplace Premium Tax Credit. It would cover dependents under 18, or under 24 who spent 5 months in school; part-time school would count, but for-profit schools would not. Those older dependents would also need to be in a qualified job-training program or a registered apprenticeship. The amount you could ignore would be capped at 15% of your yearly income, and in Medicaid non-expansion states it could not push your household income below 100% of the poverty line. This would start for tax years beginning after enactment.
