# State HUSKY A and B for Children

Connecticut is offering two new state-funded health coverage programs for children. These programs provide coverage for uninsured children ages 0-15 who cannot enroll in regular HUSKY A (Medicaid) or HUSKY B (Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)) because they are undocumented immigrants. You can find the annual and monthly income limits on the Department of Social Services (DSS) website under "How to Qualify."

For more information about these programs, visit the Department of Social Services website for Frequently Asked Questions.

**How to Enroll**

You must enroll by phone or paper application; there is no online enrollment at this time. We strongly encourage applying by phone to get an immediate decision about qualifying for HUSKY coverage.

Request a paper application be mailed to you by calling Access Health CT or by visiting a DSS service center in-person. Visit the Department of Social Services website to find a service center near you
