In order to improve your online experience with DSS, our systems will be getting an upgrade this weekend. Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 9 until completion Connect.ct.gov, MyDSS.ct.gov and our Chat bot will be unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

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).
