    Depemnds how you became eligible for HCTC. Those whio are eligible are:

    1. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) payees who are at least 55 years old,
    2. Individuals receiving a Trade Readjustment Allowance (TRA) under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program and attending TAA-approved training, and
    3. Individuals receiving a wage subsidy under the Alternative TAA (ATAA)/Reemployment Trade Adjustment Assistance (RTAA) program for older workers.

    Under which of these do you qualify? People in these three groups must also meet general requirements and have a qualified health plan to receive the HCTC.
