Which type of assistance is NOT eligible for the Health Coverage Tax Credit?

The Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) is a tax credit designed to help certain individuals cover the cost of health insurance. This credit is primarily targeted towards eligible trade-affected workers and retirees receiving pension payments from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC).

Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) does not qualify for the HCTC because it is a program designed to provide health coverage for children from families with income too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private coverage. The HCTC specifically benefits certain adults, particularly those impacted by trade practices, rather than children's programs aimed at health coverage.

In contrast, programs like Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance (ATAA), and Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA) are designed for workers who have lost their jobs due to trade-related reasons. These programs qualify their recipients for HCTC, providing a pathway to subsidize health insurance costs for individuals who meet specific criteria related to job displacement from foreign competition.
