Connecticut's baseline long-term-care resource figure is $1,600. Both the Department of Social Services' HUSKY C overview and the state's Partnership consumer guidance confirm that a single person in a skilled nursing facility can hold no more than $1,600 in total assets. That figure describes countable resources — it doesn't mean every item a family owns gets counted. The Partnership guidance defines an asset broadly as anything convertible to cash, but a real eligibility review still has to sort out exemptions, ownership, and valuation case by case.
For a typical HUSKY C household outside the LTSS context, DSS lists $1,600 for one person and $2,400 for a married couple — but it separately notes that LTSS financial treatment is different, with married LTSS limits tied instead to the community spouse protected amount. Applying that general $2,400 couple figure mechanically to a long-term-care case would be a mistake; families should ask DSS to confirm the applicant's actual coverage group and the couple's protected resources.
