If your income is between 100% and 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), enrolling in a Silver Tier plan unlocks Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSRs). These reductions artificially boost your plan's value to 87% or 94% actuarial value—giving you Platinum-grade $0 or $250 deductibles while paying standard Silver-tier subsidized premiums.
