The IRS has implemented the Health Coverage Tax Credit (HCTC) program to help recently unemployed individuals maintain their health coverage.  This program refunds 80 percent of health care premiums and can arrange to pay the bulk of those premiums each month going forward. The credit covers anyone whose job loss is certified under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act, as well as anyone 55 and over whose pension plan has been taken over by the pension board.
