Eligibility is based on the the prior year Poverty Guidelines. See this IRS site.
For purposes of the premium tax credit, eligibility for a certain year is based on the most recently published set of poverty guidelines at the time of the first day of the annual open enrollment period for coverage for that year. Consequently, the federal poverty guidelines published in January of 2020 are used for premium tax credit eligibility for 2021.
