NOTICE:

To improve your online experience with DSS, we will be performing system maintenance this weekend. Starting at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 23, ConneCT.ct.gov, MyDSS.ct.gov and our Chatbot will be unavailable until maintenance is complete. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Security Notice: DSS and Gainwell Technologies are providing notice of a data security incident affecting the Connecticut HUSKY Medicaid provider portal — [read the full press release] for details, or call 1-855-744-4488 if you have questions.

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).
