Family Care Health Insurance
Family Care is a public benefit program that offers health insurance for eligible parents or guardians who live with their children 18 years old or younger. Family Care can help you pay for doctor visits, hospital care, emergency care, prescription drugs, dental care, vision care and more.

To qualify, you must:
• Live in Illinois
• Be a US citizen or legal permanent resident of 5 years or more
• Meet income requirements

As of July 2009, more parents are now eligible for Family Care!

You may qualify even if you already have insurance through your employer. Or, you may be eligible for money to help you pay for your private insurance.

The Community Wellness Program can help you apply for benefits.
