HUSKY is growing outreach tool for community organizations


Connecticut’s Medicaid/HUSKY program is significantly expanding effective January 1st. 700,000 state residents are already benefitting from the program and up to another 130,000 may qualify under new eligibility rules. Many people denied Medicaid or HUSKY in the past will now qualify. Medicaid and HUSKY provide comprehensive health care coverage without cost.

To ensure that every eligible state resident is enrolled as soon as possible, CTHPP summer intern Tanusha Satavalli developed a “HUSKY is growing” toolkit for community organizations to help people know about the expansion. The tools can be customized for your organization.
