State of Connecticut Medicaid Program Website

Long-Term Services and Supports benefit eligibility is one of the most complex areas of Medicaid.  Because Medicaid is a program for the poor or near-poor, there is a rigorous eligibility determination process, in part to help ensure that applicants are not attempting to gain benefits by inappropriate divesting of assets. 

This section of the website provides links to various materials we hope you find helpful in understanding Medicaid long-term care and related matters.
