Yes, if you or your spouse (as included on your Pennie application) are approved for unemployment insurance, (commonly referred to as unemployment compensation in Pennsylvania) the entire household is eligible to receive enhanced financial assistance under the American Rescue Plan. This includes enhanced advance premium tax credits (APTC) and cost sharing reductions (CSR).
