SB 807 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE ELIMINATION OF ASSET LIMITS FOR HUSKY C BENEFICIARIES OVER A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD.

SB 807 gradually eliminates asset limits for Connecticut's HUSKY C health program beneficiaries (low-income adults) over five years. Starting July 1, 2025, the asset limit for single adults increases from $1,600 to $10,000 in 2026, then to $25,000 in 2027, $75,000 in 2028, $100,000 in 2029, and removes the limit entirely after 2030. Married couples see similar stepwise increases, rising from $2,400 to $150,000 by 2029. The bill also allows applicants with income slightly above limits to qualify by spending excess income on medical bills, and requires annual reports on enrollment and costs.
