The county normally decides within 30 days. Ask about expedited service if your household has very little income or cash for food.

Students enrolled at least half-time generally need a student exemption in addition to meeting the usual income and household rules. Common exemptions include working at least 20 hours a week, participating in federal or state work-study, having a qualifying disability, caring for a young child, or being under 18 or age 50 or older. The state agency—not this site—makes the decision.
Medicaid applications are open year-round. A quick screening can help you start, but only the state can make a final eligibility decision.
Compare your school plan and any coverage available through a parent or spouse. Check the provider network around your California campus before keeping an out-of-state plan.
Use Covered California’s Shop and Compare tool for a preliminary estimate of Medi-Cal or marketplace savings based on household, location, age, and projected annual income.
Apply for Medi-Cal through BenefitsCal or Covered California. The appropriate county or state program will make the final eligibility determination and may request verification.
If you do not qualify for Medi-Cal, compare Covered California plans and financial help. Moving for school, losing other coverage, or turning 26 may support enrollment outside the annual open-enrollment period.
Student status is not a separate Medi-Cal disqualification. Tax dependency and expected household income matter, so answer application questions using the tax filing arrangement expected for the coverage year.
Compare premiums, deductibles, prescriptions, mental-health coverage, and the provider network near campus. Students under 26 may be able to stay on a parent’s plan, but an out-of-state network may offer limited routine care. Moving for school, losing coverage, or turning 26 may create a Marketplace Special Enrollment Period.
