Description
Update - 2/2023: With the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) ending, Department of Social Services/HUSKY Health will resume the regular HUSKY eligibility process by giving all HUSKY A, B, D, or D Health members a chance to renew their coverage. When it is time to renew, HUSKY Health members will receive a notice in advance, so it is important that individuals most recent mailing address is on file to receive this notification.  (Individuals can verify or update their address at: ct.gov/UpdateUsDSS):
 

• Some individuals on HUSKY will be renewed automatically, due to eligibility status after review and will be notified that their renewal process is successful, and no additional action is required; OR
• HUSKY Health was unable to automatically renew an individual’s coverage and they need to provide a renewal form.  A renewal form will be included. HUSKY Health members will receive a notice with pre-application, 45 days before their coverage is due to end in 2023, and individuals will have to complete either online, by phone or paper. It is important to reply promptly to any mail from HUSKY Health/Access Health CT, to start the verification process.
