The CT Department of Social Services (DSS) is reporting that in June 2013, caseloads for both SNAP and Medicaid for Low-Income Adults (LIA, adults under age 65 without children) programs continue to rise, while the trend for other assistance programs went in the opposite direction. In June over 220,000 families and over 400,000 state residents were receiving SNAP benefits, representing a 1% increase over the same period in 2012. 91,000 individuals were enrolled in the Medicaid LIA program, representing a nearly 1% increase over the same period in 2012, yet Medicaid enrollment overall increased by only 0 .2%
