This is the first step toward insuring all your children. CHI can help you qualify for any of three different programs:

• Medi-Cal
• Healthy Families
• Healthy Kids (a new plan especially for those who don't qualify for Medi-Cal or Healthy Families)

It is easy to qualify if:

• Your children are under age 19
• Your family has a qualifying income (see chart below)
• Your children has been without employer coverage for the last three months (with some exceptions)
• Your family lives in San Mateo County

Four Documents are necessary to enroll children:

• Proof of San Mateo County residency
  
• Proof of income
  
• Proof of age of children
  
• Proof of citizenship or U.S. residency (only for Medi-Cal and Healthy Family.
  Immigration status doesn’t matter for Healthy Kids)
