ConnectorCare Plan Type 1 ending in January 2026

The Health Connector will be eliminating ConnectorCare Plan Type 1 in January 2026. This is the plan that since 2014 has provided affordable coverage to lawfully present immigrants with income under the poverty level or less who were not eligible for Medicaid due to their immigration status. Currently 34,000 people are enrolled in Plan Type 1. The end of Plan Type 1 is one of the first of the coverage losses caused by the GOP's tax and spending megabill that was signed into law on July 4, 2025.  Attached is a fact sheet prepared by MLRI to assist advocates in finding coverage options for at least some of the people losing ConnectorCare in 2026 while advocates, providers and policy makers try to come up with better solutions for this and future coverage losses expected later in 2026 and 2027.

Attached are the slides of an Oct 22, 2025 webinar by MLRI and HCFA with information on how advocates can assist immigrants with income under the poverty level to find other coverage options in 2026.
