Medicaid Spend Down Information and Forms

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).

You may have a spend-down if you are eligible for HUSKY Medicaid except that your income exceeds the limit. If DSS has determined that you are eligible for a spend-down, then you can use certain medical expenses to reduce your income. Submit medical expenses that you want to be applied to your spend-down with the cover sheet to:
