    Are you disabled or at the poverty level? Medi Cal is for seniors or the underprivileged I believe. Get online with Blue Shield. You are young so it should be cheap. Otherwise your parents can Carr you until you are 26 if you are in school.

    It usually takes about three months, but it's not easy for able bodied adults to qualify for welfare - which is what Medi-Cal is.

    The welfare department is way understaffed to handle all of the new welfare recipients. It can take 3 weeks to 3 months to get approval depending on your county.

    You may want to follow up and see if there is any hold-up.
