Now is a good time to ensure you maintain your HUSKY D health care coverage as new federal Medicaid rules take effect in 2027, requiring some individuals to provide more information. HUSKY D is Connecticut's Medicaid program for low-income adults aged 19 to 64 who do not have dependent children and are not eligible for Medicare.

Effective January 1, 2027, to keep your HUSKY D coverage, you may need to show proof that you work, and/or go to school, and/or volunteer, do community service, or cannot work.

It is important to note that not everyone is impacted. If the changes apply to you, you will receive information from the Department of Social Services. DSS may also ask you to provide information showing that these rules do not apply to you.
