Starting November 1, 2024, DACA recipients will be able to get health insurance coverage through state-based marketplaces. This change in the law means DACA recipients living in Connecticut can apply for health and/or dental insurance plans offered through Access Health CT. Depending on their household size and income, they may qualify for financial help such as Advance Premium Tax Credits (APTCs) or Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSRs).
DACA recipients are not eligible to enroll in regular HUSKY Health programs, including Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). However, there are State programs available for children and pregnant individuals who do not qualify for regular Medicaid because of their immigration status. Eligibility for these programs depends on your age and/or household income. Click here to learn more.
