Dear Neighbor,

Open Enrollment for Access Health CT's (AHCT) health and dental insurance remains on track to begin Saturday, November 1st, and end Monday, December 15th, for plans beginning at the start of next year. Residents can enroll until Thursday, January 15th, 2026, for plans beginning in February 2026.

You may have received a letter in the mail warning of healthcare premium price increases starting January 1st, 2026, due to legislation passed in the U.S. Congress this year. Currently, the federal government is shut down as those price increases are debated and negotiated.

As it stands, state officials in Connecticut are encouraging residents to hold off on enrolling in the AHCT plan as the debate continues over those price increases. If you are able, please wait to enroll until the issue is fully resolved. 

For those looking to enroll, please have the following information and documents prepared for you and anyone else in your household, even if they don't need coverage:

• Dates of Birth
• Social Security Numbers
• Visa, green card, or immigration documents
• Most recent W2 and/or Form 1040, 1099 
• Pay-stubs, Profit & Loss Statements, or other employment information
• Current insurance coverage (policy numbers for any current health insurance plans covering members of your household)
