WIC Eligibility

Eligibility depends on household size and income.

  • WIC is a nutrition program for people who are pregnant, recently delivered a baby, breast and chest feeding, and infants and children under 5 years old.
  • Dads, grandparents, and other caregivers of children under 5 years old the age of five may also sign up their children for WIC.
  • Foster children under age five and foster teens who are pregnant are eligible for WIC.
  • If you or your household members are on Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Basic Food, you may be eligible for WIC, too.
  • Many working families and military families are eligible for WIC.

Being on WIC does not make you a public charge and does not affect your immigration status. U.S. citizenship is not required to qualify for WIC.

 

Contact your local WIC clinic to see if WIC can help your family.
