HCTC Information for Individuals
The HCTC helps make health insurance more affordable for trade-affected workers, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) payees, and their families by paying 80% of health insurance premiums. Once registered for the monthly program, you'll pay 20% of your premium, we'll add 80%, and then we'll send the full 100% to your health plan for you.
