ACA Subsidies for Denton Residents
At 415% of the Federal Poverty Level, residents earning around the Denton median of $65,000 are above the traditional 400% FPL threshold. The enhanced rules that briefly extended credits above that line expired at the end of 2025, so for 2026 no premium tax credit is available at this income — the full filed premium applies.
Denton residents enroll through healthcare.gov, the federal marketplace. Open Enrollment runs November 1 through January 15 each year. Special Enrollment Periods are available within 60 days of losing other coverage, marriage, birth of a child, or a move.
