Eligibility checklist
HUSKY B above Medicaid
Children are in Medicaid to 196% of the poverty line; HUSKY B, the separate CHIP, continues to 318% (323% with the disregard), one of the higher children’s limits in New England.[MACPAC]
Pregnancy coverage, including from-conception coverage, runs to 258% of the poverty line, and the parent/caretaker standard matches the expansion level at 133%.[MACPAC][MACPAC]
| Group | FPL | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adults 19–64 | 138% | $1,836 | $2,489 | $3,142 | $3,795 | $5,102 |
| Pregnancy | 263% | $3,498 | $4,743 | $5,988 | $7,233 | $9,723 |
| Children | 323% | $4,296 | $5,825 | $7,354 | $8,883 | $11,941 |
A 209(b) state
For people 65+ or disabled, Connecticut uses its own, stricter standard rather than SSI’s: receiving SSI does not by itself mean Medicaid, and the state’s aged/disabled income standard is about 64% of the poverty line, with a medically needy spend-down at the same level.[MACPAC]
Postpartum HUSKY
Connecticut’s 12-month postpartum extension was approved July 26, 2022.[KFF] With pregnancy covered to 258% of the poverty line, a new parent earning $5,988 a month in a household of three keeps HUSKY for a year after the birth, then moves to the adult or parent limit.
Applying
Access Health CT, the state marketplace, takes HUSKY applications along with private-plan applications; the Department of Social Services administers HUSKY.
Worked example
A Hartford family of four — two parents, a 2-year-old and a 12-year-old — earns $7,000 a month. That is 254.5% of the poverty line for 4.
| Parent / caretaker | over by $3,205 | $3,795 |
