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).

LTSS Overview

Long-term services and supports (LTSS) refers to care provided in the home, in community-based settings, or in facilities, such as nursing homes. LTSS helps older adults and people with disabilities live at home or locally with care so they can achieve better health and independence. To learn more about benefits and programs available to support Connecticut residents long-term, visit the Department of Social Services’ LTSS webpage.
