Have you used the Maine marketplace website? You can input your expected income under See Plans.

The website will tell you if you qualify for premium subsidies and which plans are available in your area.

You will have to use your upcoming, expected income. If you enter your current earnings (<1500 a month) it will simply direct you to apply for MaineCare.

For example: if I put in a 26 year old making 21,000 per year in Cumberland County, it will output a premium subsidy of $338/month, and suggest a $6/month plan (the cost after the premium subsidy is applied) with a $500 deductible.

Or if I put in a 26 year old making $35,000 per year, it will output a premium subsidy of $216 , and suggest a $174/month plan with a $2,500 deductible.

Not a problem! I'm glad you can stay on - MaineCare helped my family through some difficult times. I am glad to see it continuing to help others.

Mainecare is better than subsidies. If you qualify for Mainecare, absolutely take that.
