Connecticut residents who made student loan payments last year can apply for assistance now. The state's reimbursement program has opened to provide financial relief to eligible residents. 

Access Health CT’s extended open enrollment period runs through Saturday, January 31. The call center will remain open until midnight to help residents meet the deadline.

Due to recent changes to federal student lending, my colleagues and I are proposing the creation of a new state-level student loan program.

As we welcome a new year, several laws that we passed in the last legislative session took effect on January 1, 2026.

The governor has begun crafting a $170 million plan to help lower health insurance costs, expand access to food assistance, and prevent some of our most vulnerable neighbors from losing their housing.

The state is helping those in need by erasing some or all medical debt for approximately 40,000 Connecticut residents.

I want to wish everyone in Stamford and beyond a happy, healthy, and joyful holiday season.

We are putting an emergency response fund to good use by committing $70 million to offset the cuts to Affordable Care Act subsidies when they are set expire at the end of the year. This will protect thousands from anticipated, steep premium increases in 2026.
