Infants through teenagers can receive free or low-cost health insurance.  Many families in Washington State qualify and don't know it.  The programs are flexible and cover kids in many types of households:
  • Kids with single parents
  • Kids with working parents
  • Kids living with grandparents, other family or friends
  • Kids with two parents
  • Young adults (under 19) living on their own
  • Non-citizen kids
  • Kids with pre-existing medical conditions

 

The process is easy and many working families qualify.  Income, family size (be sure to include a pregnancy as a family member) and some monthly expenses are reviewed for eligibility.  To see if your kids might qualify, view How to apply and Qualifying Income Standards selections at the left.
