<prompt> Human: California Im starting college this year and I want to get a job to help pay for it as well as start saving up to move out and start my own life but my family relies on welfare for health insurance. We make about 36k a year and have a family of 4 that puts us in silver 94 which basically covers 90 or more of the cost of everything. Im turning 18 in October and Im fairly certain I then no longer am qualified for this program.How can I navigate going about getting a job and trying to support myself and invest in my future? Should I try to look for a place that pays under the table? What happens once I turn 18? Does my income still affect my family because they declare me as a dependant? Can I still live with them if I file as an independent? How should I navigate Healthcare once I turn 18?I have a lot of questions. Please help, and I appreciate any advice anyone has to give me.This entire system seems like a trap and feels absurd that its financially worse off for me to work than not work.  <response>: Basically as long as you are part of the household, your income counts towards what is considered for benefits. If youre about to turn 18, your family should look into how losing a dependent will change their benefits. It may very well be that theyll lose benefits whether you get a job or not.
