Health Insurance program update, starting July 1, 2024, this program will expand coverage to uninsured children ages 0-15 with household income between 0-323% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), who do not qualify for regular HUSKY A Medicaid or HUSKY B CHIP coverage because they do not have a qualifying immigration status.

Here’s how to apply (beginning July 1, 2024 for ages 13-15):

Phone: Access Health CT at 1‐855‐805‐4325

If you are deaf or hearing impaired, you may use TTY at 1‐855‐789‐2428 or call with a relay operator. It is strongly recommended to apply by phone in order to get an immediate decision about qualifying for the program. Or, individuals may also:

**Request a paper application be mailed to you by calling Access Health CT at 1-855-805-4325, or

**Visiting a DSS Service Center in-person (www.ct.gov/dss/fieldoffices).
