NOTICE:

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 federal changes in the rules of eligibility. 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.

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).
