DACA recipients in Connecticut can soon get health insurance through Access Health CT
In Connecticut, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients will be able to enroll through Access Health CT starting Nov. 1st. Some residents are eligible for financial assistance, such as premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions.
Beginning Nov. 1, Connecticut Dreamers, undocumented immigrants who arrived as young children, can for the first time enroll in health coverage through Access Health CT.
They have completed arts degrees, exhibited their work, and received grants, but some artists say the immigration policy offers limited paths to legal status.
The change follows a federal policy finalized in May expanding Affordable Care Act eligibility to DACA recipients.
