Overview

There are several ways to apply for DSS programs and services.  You can apply online; download and mail in an application; or, for some health coverage, apply over the phone at Access Health CT.  When possible, we recommend online application as the quickest and most convenient.

Online options:

• Households and individuals who wish to apply for or renew health coverage for children (HUSKY A & B); parents with dependent children (HUSKY A); caretakers/guardians of minor children (HUSKY A); pregnant women (HUSKY A); and adults under 65 without dependent children (HUSKY D), can apply online at www.accesshealthct.com.
