WIC Eligibility

Who is eligible and who can apply?

• Pregnant women
• Women who are breastfeeding a baby under 1 year of age
• Women who have had a baby in the past six months
• Fathers, mothers, step-parents, guardians, and foster parents of infants and children under the age of 5 can apply for their children.
• You may apply for WIC if you are employed, unemployed, insured, uninsured, married or single.

What about fathers?

Fathers of children under the age of 5 are encouraged to enroll their children in the WIC program.  Just like any other parent or guardian, fathers can bring their children to appointments, attend nutrition classes, and receive and redeem benefits for their children.  Active participation by fathers is a great help in keeping WIC children healthy.

Are services free?

Yes! All WIC services are free to those who are eligible.
