Question: I am a middle-aged engineer who is “asset rich”, but “income poor”. Are the ACA subsidies solely based upon income, or is there a means test which takes ones assets into account (as, for example, the FAFSA federal student aid application)?
Answer: Assets do not count, only income. That would include any income that contributes to your adjusted gross income (AGI), like income from real estate or securities.
