At 100% poverty level you can start to receive subsides for lower premium cost and lower cost sharing. Income below poverty will most likely not receive subsidies.
400% is the maximum amount of income a family can have before they no longer qualify for subsidies. If a family makes more than 400% fpl, they can still enroll in the health Insurance Marketplace. But not eligible for tax subsides.
If you have other health coverage: Medicare Part A, B or C, Medicaid,CHIP, any job-based plan, and individual health plan, COBRA, retiree coverage, TRICARE, VA, or some other kind of health coverage you may not be eligible for subsidies.
