Elderly Parents Don’t Work and No Proof of Income

[California based] My parents are age 59 and 63. They lost their job at the start of the pandemic and are currently not working. They also haven’t had health insurance since 2018 due to the cost. Now since they have zero income, I’m really trying to get them to apply for Medicaid/Medi-Cal to get health insurance.

I’ve purchased CoveredCA before for myself and they ask for proof of income. I asked my parents if they have any documents to provide proof but they say they don’t. They have “nothing”. They haven’t worked since March 2020 and are currently unemployed.

So how do you prove you don’t have income with no documents? That’s their main concern. They’re also concerned about the enrollment deadline. How do I help them? What other things/documents are needed to get Medi-Cal/Medicaid?
