Insurance for my mom and sibling after father’s death. What is considered income if mom not working?

Wondering if anyone had tips or thoughts or helpful knowledge—

My dad had just passed away and he was the sole income earner in the household. My mom will now live off of his life insurance and 401k, which is a lot of money, this is not a low income situation. They live in California.

Prior to his death my dads employer sponsored health insurance was covering him, my mom, my 18 year old sibling and 22 year old sister. My sister was easily able to enroll in her employers plan, but we need to figure out insurance for my mom and my 18 year old sibling.

18 year old attends community college and university works as a server part time anywhere from 9-20 hours a week, usually on the lower end of that range. He currently lives on his own with roommates but may move back home with my mom. I’m having trouble understanding if he would be eligible for medi-cal on his own or not.

For my mom I assumed we would go on the exchange and purchase her a plan but I don’t really understand what would be considered her income? She doesn’t work. She will get a (fairly hefty) life insurance payoff soon and plans to live off that for as long as she can before touching my dads retirement accounts. She is 60 years old. If relevant, their home is worth probably 1.8 million-ish, I think there’s still a mortgage on it; and she will likely sell it but probably not for at least a year if I were guessing.
