If I don’t use all my ACA subsidy credit (i.e. get a plan with a cheaper premium), will I get the remainder when I do my taxes?

We had a job change and qualify now for Marketplace Insurance. The application says we qualify for $1,655/month credit.  It also mentions that we can choose to apply all, some or none of the subsidy to our monthly plan and get a tax credit when we do our taxes...  
 
So...Scenario:
Say we choose a less expensive plan - like the Meridian Bronze - which costs approx. $950/month for 2.  The difference between our subsidy and the Meridian HSA Bronze Premium is $705.  As long as our income level truly stays at that $36,000 amount, does that mean the government will give us another $705/month (for the months we were enrolled) when we do our taxes?

If you do not use the entire PTC in advance you MAY get more later on the return ... depends on the income and other items.
