What about Enhanced Silver?

If my income is higher at the end of the year than I thought,

do I have to pay the Enhanced Silver cost-sharing subsidies back?

No. Unlike premium tax credits, which are reconciled each year based on the income you actually earned, cost sharing reductions are not reconciled ^{Western Poverty Page 177} *  ^{Kaiser Foundation FAQ’s}  However, you will have to pay any received premium assistance back up to a certain amount.  Also, you are mandated to report income changes within 30 days. You also promised in the Covered CA application to report income changes within 30 days. Use the search feature ctrl – f and put in “changes.” It’s used 14 times.
