Money Follows the Person¶
Money Follows the Person helps eligible Connecticut residents move from long-term care facilities to community living. DSS coordinates individual transition planning and services.
Ask DSS about support for a move from a long-term care facility to the community. Eligibility, covered costs, and the transition plan require an individual assessment.
Some details for this program are still being verified. Check the official source for the most current information.
Questions to ask the program¶
These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.
- Does the person receiving care live in Connecticut? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
