The Department of Social Services is working with Community Action Agencies to distribute the one-time $300 grocery card to those who have lost their SNAP benefits due to recent changes in the rules of eligibility. Details of what you will need to do to access this benefit are being determined.  When this benefit is available we will let the public know how they can request it. If you need immediate food assistance, visit www.211ct.org or www.ctfoodshare.org.

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).
