Do You Qualify?


Looks like you have to apply at this site. This site is also where you sign up for ObamaCare but it should tell you if you qualify for Medi-Cal


Covered California? | Affordable Health Insurance

Thanks zinco!!! There is so much confusion with Covered CA (Obama Plan) and the integration of Medi-Cal into that program. They have eased up on some requirements, but you are correct on the earnings threshold to qualify. Right now I don't qualify, because of my job. But I may go on a 6 month temp disability in July to work on my depression issues. If I do this, I may qualify for Medi-Cal or at least a lower costing Obama plan. Since, I'll prob lose my job if I go on disability, and Cobra is like 400-500 per month which I cannot afford. I'm hoping being on temp disability qualifies you for Medi-Cal or a least gives you a break on another plan.
