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.
