How Retiring or Losing a Trade Job can Affect Nebraska Health Insurance Coverage

3. If you recently lost your job because of trade policy -- for example, increased imports or jobs moving overseas...

...a federal law called the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act may pay 65 percent of the cost of your health insurance for up to one year, and sometimes longer. You might qualify for this help, for example, if your employer laid off workers because the company's products are being replaced by products from other countries or because the company is using more workers in other countries.

TO LEARN MORE about this option, contact the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) Customer Contact Center by calling toll-free 1.866.628.HCTC or check out its Web site at www.irs.gov/individuals/index.html.

4. If you are an early retiree who has lost your health coverage...

...the same law that helps workers who lose their jobs because of trade policy may help you. If you are a retiree aged 55 or older, your former employer no longer provides your pension, and your pension benefit is paid by the federal Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation, you can receive help with 65 percent of the cost of health insurance until you are eligible for Medicare.
