Marketplace Insurance and Medicare
I had been covered under the ACA from 01/01/2018 through 05/31/18. Towards the end of May, after waiting for two years, I finally received a permanent disability determination through the Social Security Administration. I stopped paying my premiums with the ACA as of 06/01/2018 as I qualified for Medicare. I also received a lump-sum payment from Social Security for approx. 2 years. It now looks as though we have to pay back all of the credit to the ACA? Is this correct? I claimed bankruptcy three years ago this month and we cannot afford to pay this back. We weren’t expecting this. Can we claim a hardship? Or are there any credits we can qualify for since we are both disabled and on Medicare? Thank you for your help.
(PS: Because of the lump-sum payment, we don't qualify for the Marketplace credit)

There is an additional credit for being legally blind, but unfortunately not for any other type of disability.
If your lump-sum payment was for multiple years, be sure you indicated what the 2018 amount was so only that is being considered.
There are 'Caps' on the amount you have to pay back, based on what % of the FPL (Family Poverty Level) your income fall in.
Here's info on that:
