David Parella, Deputy Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Social Services, discussed the benefits and service delivery system of the Husky program. Connecticut’s Husky program is utilizing enhanced Title XXI Match (65 percent) on previously enacted Medicaid expansions for children under age 19, up to 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). A non-Medicaid expansion has been implemented to extend subsidized coverage to children between 185 and 300 percent of the FPL. For children with family income above 300 percent of the FPL, a full buy-in option is available.
