NOTICE:

The Department of Social Services is working to distribute the one-time $300 grocery card to those who have lost their SNAP benefits due to federal changes in the rules of eligibility. We expect this benefit to be available around August and will let the public know how they can request it. If you need additional food pantry, soup kitchen or mobile food assistance, visit www.211ct.org or www.ctfoodshare.org.

Changes to SNAP and HUSKY Health work rules can be hard to understand. But many people will not lose their benefits. The Department of Social Services has made two prescreeners available - one for SNAP and one for HUSKY - to determine whether these changes apply to you. Find out more about how it will impact you on our website, which answers questions about work requirements and exemptions for SNAP and HUSKY (Medicaid).
