Who is included in a household?

A household includes the tax filer and any spouse or tax dependents. Your spouse and tax dependents should be included even if they aren’t applying for health insurance. Don’t include anyone you aren’t claiming as a dependent on your taxes. 

Covered California determines whether you get financial help by how much your household earns — not just the ones applying for health coverage. 

See a detailed list of whom to include in your household.
