FAQ
Who qualifies for WIC benefits?
WIC serves pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers (up to 1 year), postpartum women (up to 6 months), infants, and children under age 5. You must meet income requirements (at or below 185% FPL) and be determined to have a nutritional risk by a health professional.
What does WIC provide?
WIC provides supplemental foods, nutrition education, and referrals to health and social services. Foods include milk, eggs, cheese, cereal, juice, peanut butter, beans, and baby formula/food. Benefits are loaded onto an EBT card monthly. WIC also provides breastfeeding support.
How do I apply for WIC?
Contact your local WIC office or apply online through your state's WIC website. You'll need proof of identity, residency, income, and a health screening. Many families receiving Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF are automatically income-eligible for WIC.
