Hi, my husband recently got laid off from work. He will lose his medical benefits the end of this month (which means I also lose medical benefits)
I’m not super worried about income, we have a place to stay and we won’t go hungry. It sucks yes, but my bigger worry is health insurance.
What are our options in terms of getting medi-cal coverage ?
If we use something like Obama care or medi-cal will it affect my immigration application because of the public charge rule.
He is a USA citizen, I am from Ireland, currently in the AOS process.
Second question - will him claiming unemployment affect the public charge rule?
Other background - I am still working but I do not receive benefits from my job. I’m also a personal trainer so although I’m working online, my work possibilities are reduced while we wait for gyms to open up. I’m just scared to be in this country without insurance
Thanks! - I’ve struggled to find anything concrete on this as most sites I’ve found only talk about Medicaid
