Below is the text of the letter:
Time is running out for the 117th Congress to pass legislation to make permanent, or at least reauthorize, the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) which helps Americans, age 55-64, cover the cost of health insurance if they are retired and their pensions have been taken over by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), or if their job was outsourced abroad and they qualify for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).
S.3393, Permanently Extend the Health Coverage Tax Credit, was introduced on December 20, 2021 and is still an active bill which should be immediately passed or included in a bill that is expected to pass by the end of the year, such as an omnibus spending bill.
Unless HCTC is made permanent, or at least reauthorized, thousands of retirees will lose health insurance coverage through no fault of their own. Currently HCTC reimburses 72.5% of health insurance costs. S.3383 should be amended to increase reimbursement to 80% as included in an HCTC bill in the House.
I want to hear from you that you will urge you Senate colleagues to pass legislation to make HCTC permanent, or at least reauthorize it.
