Durable Medical Equipment--Eligibility

NOTICE:

Connecticut passed new legislation requiring DSS to spread out SNAP benefit issuance dates throughout the month rather than concentrating them in the first few days. Read up on the changes that start March 1.

DSS benefits have changed due to the federal budget reconciliation bill (H.R.1). Find out how it will impact you on our website, which answers questions about work requirements and exemptions for SNAP and HUSKY (Medicaid).

Durable Medical Equipment

Eligibility

In some situations there are additional requirements. For example, even though your doctor decides that an item is medically necessary, you may still need the department’s approval before you can get it. If prior approval is required, your medical equipment supplier will know how to request it.
