Medicaid Resources

The COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) ended on May 11, 2023, bringing an end to several pandemic-era policies, including the Medicaid Continuous Enrollment Provision.

The Medicaid Continuous Enrollment Provision prevented states from disenrolling individuals from Medicaid, even if they no longer qualified, to expand and provide adequate health care coverage during the pandemic. The Medicaid Continuous Enrollment Provision terminated on March 31, 2023, beginning the "unwinding" process. The state will notify individuals if they are eligible to re-enroll in Medicaid or another health care plan.

Husky Health Programs

Constituents who are enrolled in Medicaid (HUSKY Health) should ensure that their contact information is up to date with Connecticut's Department of Social Services and wait to receive further guidance in the mail from CT DSS. If you are on a HUSKY Health Plan, you do not have to act until you receive a renewal form; the unwinding period will continue until March 2024.
