My spouse is covered under my plan at work. If I retire and sign up for my retiree plan, will my husband be eligible to buy a plan on the marketplace?

Probably. Most people are eligible to buy a plan on the health insurance marketplace. However, depending on his access to other coverage options, he may not be eligible for premium tax credits to lower the cost of a marketplace plan. For example, if he is eligible for Medicare, he would not be eligible for premium tax credits. However, if he’s not eligible for Medicare and doesn’t enroll in your retiree health plan, he could be eligible for premium tax credits.(26 C.F.R. § 1.36B-2).
