Understanding Key ACA FPL Benchmarks
How these income thresholds dictate consumer subsidies, Silver plan CSR variants, and Medicaid eligibility.
Medicaid Gap Threshold
In non-expansion states, consumers must typically earn at least 100% FPL to qualify for Marketplace premium tax credits.
Medicaid Expansion Line
In states that adopted Medicaid expansion, adults under age 65 with income up to 138% FPL qualify for Medicaid.
94% Actuarial Value CSR
Consumers qualifying in this band receive Silver plans with nominal deductibles, low copays, and minimal maximum out-of-pocket costs.
87% Actuarial Value CSR
Enrollees receive enhanced Silver plans with significantly lower cost-sharing and reduced deductibles.
73% Actuarial Value CSR
Provides modest reductions in Silver plan copayments and out-of-pocket maximum limits.
Full Premium Responsibility
Standard benchmark ceiling where subsidies were traditionally phased out under statutory ACA rules.
