Celebrating 60 Years of Medicaid
On Wednesday, July 30th, 2025, we celebrated 60 years of Medicaid! This program has transformed American healthcare over the past six decades. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of children and families across the country, and for almost one-third of Connecticut residents. This program provides access to essential health services to our most vulnerable communities. Let's celebrate this milestone and do what we can to support Medicaid services while they are under attack by the Trump Administration.
To honor 60 years of Medicaid, Connecticut Children's Medical Center created a list of 60 ways Medicaid continues to promote health, dignity, and opportunity for everyone. Click below to read more.
The Connecticut Treasurer’s Office is holding more than $1 billion in unclaimed funds for Connecticut residents. Unclaimed property includes things such as payroll checks, refunds, bank accounts, liquidated securities, and insurance proceeds.
Property is returned at no cost with proper evidence. Be sure to check with the treasurer's office frequently, as it gets new unclaimed property every year.
