Denied tax credits; Health insurance premium up by $800. Need help pls.

Hello,

I’m new here and need some help around tax credits and health insurance premiums.

I’m close to 70, widowed and live in WA. I have always been eligible for tax credits to help with health insurance premiums (I go thru wa health plan finder via an agent). I was notified that I don’t qualify for tax credits starting next month, and my payments will be $800 higher, which i cant afford. My living or income situation has not changed between november and december this year. I was directed to an appeals process, but I think I need some legal help.

Any advice on what kind of lawyer/organization/website I need to contact? If someone has a reference, that would help too. I appreciate any assistance I can get. God bless. Thank you.

adding: My agent seems to think that they don’t have access to my tax return to ascertain income eligibility since i filed an extension in 2020, but I can’t verify that other than get confirmation that I have given them permission.

P.S. I don’t qualify for medicare, am a permanent resident for the past 5 yrs and 2020 reported income between 100% and 200% of federal poverty line.
