Dear Friends- 

Access Health CT has announced that the health coverage open enrollment period has been extended until December 31st, 2021 for plans starting as early as January 1st, 2022. If you enroll between January 1st and January 15th, available coverage plans will begin on February 1st, 2022. 

Thanks to provisions I fought for in the American Rescue Plan, health insurance costs for qualifying households are now lower than ever through Access Health CT. On average, households in Connecticut’s First District can save $1,174 a year. 

When you visit AccessHealthCT.com or visit an in-person enrollment site, you can compare plans and decide on the right plan for you and your family. You can visit AccessHealthCT.com/get-help at any time for free assistance with the enrollment process. 

Additionally, Access Health CT will host two enrollment fairs in January to help Connecticut residents get free, in-person help to shop, compare and enroll in quality health insurance plans. Both in-person enrollment fairs will be held from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at the following locations:  

• Torrington: Saturday, Jan. 8 at Torrington Library, located at 12 Daycoeton Place  
• Hamden: Saturday, Jan. 15 at Whitneyville Cultural Commons, located at 1253 Whitney Avenue  

Locations will welcome customers by appointment, with limited walk-in availability and strict safety protocols in place (mask-wearing, hand sanitizing, temperature checks, social distancing and a standard health questionnaire). Secure an appointment in advance by registering online, as walk-in appointments will be based on availability. To book an appointment, go to AccessHealthCT.com and select “Get Help,” and then choose the event and register by completing the form.
