DSS Presentations & Legislative Testimony
Overview
- Presentation to the Appropriations Committee: Governor’s SFY 2021 Midterm Budget Adjustments for the Department of Social Services (Feb. 19, 2020)
- Modernization of Connecticut Medicaid Nursing Facility Reimbursement: An Essential Component of Long-Term Services and Supports ‘Rebalancing’ (DSS presentation at Forum for Legislative Committees of Cognizance, Feb. 6, 2020)
- Financial Trends in the Connecticut HUSKY Health Program - A Foundation for Sustainability; presentation to the Medical Assistance Program Oversight Committee (February 8, 2019; revised February 15, 2019). Please note: the revised presentation reflects updated enrollment counts for 2012-2015 across all DSS programs, to correct an earlier data integration process error. As a result, the count of the number of people served increased by 13% for 2012, 10% for 2013, 8% for 2014 and 4% for 2015 (counts for 2016, 2017 and 2018 remain unchanged). These updated enrollment numbers cause updated per-member/per-month cost data, incorporated in the revised version. Bottom line, however: the downward cost trends remain in effect. We regret any inconvenience that may have been caused by the initial version of our presentation.
