Who is Eligible for WIC?
The residents who meet the program's liberal income guidelines:
- Pregnant women
- Women breastfeeding an infant under 1 year of age
- Women who have a baby less than 6 months old
- Infants and children up to 5 years old
- Participation in Food Stamps, MFIP, or Medical Assistance is automatic income qualification for an individual.
- Higher income guidelines apply to pregnant women and children under 2. Call your local public health office for more information.
- WIC eligibility is based on your current household income.
WIC Benefits for any eligible family members are issued to a WIC Card (much like a debit or gift card), and that card is used at the grocery store to purchase your WIC allowed foods. WIC is easier to use than ever before!

Due to the ongoing public health emergency and COVID-19 pandemic, WIC Clinics are currently being held via telephone appointments, with in-person appointments resuming in August. WIC staff are in our office locations.
