The just passed economic stimulus plan, the American Rescue Plan, provides for more subsidies for buying health insurance and gives more people in various income groups access to these subsidies. We checked on how this might impact our divorcing clients who may be receiving child support and/or spousal maintenance. It turns out that neither child support or spousal maintenance is considered income by the US Government when applying for insurance through the Affordable Care Act. This means that people who thought that they might have too much income to be eligible for a subsidy because they are receiving child support or spousal maintenance might be pleasantly surprised that they qualify for a subsidy.https://www.healthcare.gov/income-and-household-information/income/
