Virginia General Assembly Allocates $150M for ACA Subsidy Program
What happened
The General Assembly has allocated $150 million in state funds for an Affordable Care Act subsidy program in Virginia. This funding is intended to offset policy gaps resulting from the refusal to extend enhanced federal credits. The program targets households whose income falls between 138% and 250% of the federal poverty level.

Why it matters
The state subsidy translates to $65 per covered person per month for households earning between 138% and 150% of the federal poverty level. For those earning between 150% and 250% of the poverty level, the subsidy is $90 per person per month. The program could provide minimal bills for over 159,000 Virginians next year.
