CONNPACE ENROLLMENTS | ||
By: Helga Niesz, Principal Analyst | ||
You asked (1) how much total enrollment increased in the Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract to the Elderly and Disabled (ConnPACE) program after its income limits rose on April 1, 2002 and (2) for a town-by-town breakdown of the enrollment figures. (The April 1 change, mandated by PA 01-2, June Special Session, increased the program's income caps from $ 15,600 to $ 20,000 for single people and from $ 18,700 to $ 27,100 for married couples. )
ConnPACE enrollment increased by 13,044 participants, from 35,248 on March 31, 2002, to 48,292 on August 31, 2002, according to the Department of Social Services (DSS). March 31 is the day before the income limits increased and August 31 is the date of the latest available enrollment figures. DSS could not identify the specific number of new participants who became eligible exclusively due to the income limit increase, but the change is most likely responsible for the majority of the sudden enrollment increase. By comparison, enrollments were fairly stable in the past four years and rose only slowly in the last two. The totals were 31,421 in 1998; 28,536 in 1999; 30,546 in 2000; and 33,850 in 2001.
Table 1 below, provided to us by DSS, lists total enrollees by town and by category (i. e. , elderly or disabled) as of March 31, 2002 and August 31, 2002.
