Update: $500 ACA refund checks begin mailing to more than 950,000 in 30 states
Treasury Department $500 checks, with letters signed by President Donald Trump, began going out Wednesday, Sept. 30, to more than 950,000 Americans across 30 states that use the federal Affordable Care Act exchange, USA TODAY reported, citing an administration official and updating its story Wednesday evening. Trump's letter, viewed by USA TODAY, says the Biden administration "overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov" and that "that money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government." A Sept. 10 White House fact sheet described the refunds as returning what the administration calls Biden-era exchange user-fee overcharges to enrollees who largely paid full premiums without premium assistance.
