Is the SWA or the IRS responsible for determining the eligibility of TAA individuals for HCTC?
A. C-3. Answer: For HCTC, the IRS is responsible for making the determination. Explanation: Such determination is based upon (1) the information it receives from the SWA vis-à-vis an individual’s eligibility for TRA (or would be eligible for TRA if UI had been exhausted), and (2) the determination that the health plans available in a state (and for which an individual applies) meet the requirements for qualified health plans pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002. Therefore, the accuracy and timeliness of ICON transmissions on a daily basis by the SWAs to the IRS are critical.
