HR1 Community Partner Virtual Classroom

NOTICE:

Beginning August 4th, the Department of Social Services has partnered with the state’s Community Action Agencies (CAA) to distribute the one-time $300 grocery card to those who have lost their SNAP benefits due to federal work rules eligibility changes. Individuals who have lost their SNAP benefits because of these changes should reach out directly to their local CAA. More information about the ABAWD changes are located on this page. If you need additional food pantry, soup kitchen or mobile food assistance, visit www.211ct.org or www.ctfoodshare.org

Changes to SNAP and HUSKY Health work rules can be hard to understand. But many people will not lose their benefits. The Department of Social Services has made two prescreeners available - one for SNAP and one for HUSKY - to determine whether these changes apply to you. Find out more about how it will impact you on our website, which answers questions about work requirements and exemptions for SNAP and HUSKY (Medicaid).

The HR1 Community Partner Virtual Classroom will have a host of educational videos for our partners in the community that assist the residents of Connecticut with navigating DSS benefits. These informational videos will highlight the changes to DSS benefits due to the federal bill H.R.1, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act".

This page will be updated as more materials are made available.
