Hoe does WIC work?

Question

Do you get your checks the same day? I haven't applied but was told to do so. Can anyone please explain? Thank you

Answer

Yes, if you get approved,  you should get your checks that same day. While your pregnant,  you will get food help. Milk, fruits, veggies, whole grains (you can choose rice, tortillas, bread), cheese, and beans. They are specific brands that you have to get, but it will be shown in your wic book. It was a great help during my first pregnancy. Then after baby is born, you will continue to get food if breastfeeding &/or formula is supplementing or just formula feeding. Hope that is helpful!

Call your local 211 and ask them.. They when give you the number to the closest Wic they will set up appointment you will go in get weighed finger pricked they will print you off 3months worth of Wic You will get fruit veggies cereal rice bean tortillas milk "formula when baby arrives" they help with a breast pump if you decide to breastfeed and you can stay in Wic until you child turns 5 there are some income guidelines .. Hope that helped

Answer

Where I'm from they give you a card. They load it for you and it works like a gift card.. Just swipe it at the register. What you don't use will be on there until the end of the month when it reloads.
