In order to apply for WIC, we need to see the following items:
- Your WIC Nutrition Card (if you are currently receiving WIC benefits)
- Your ID
- ID for each child applying for WIC
- Ex. Social security cards, birth certifications, shot records, medical cards, or crib card
- Proof of income
- Ex. Medicaid cards or current paycheck stubs
- Proof of address
- Ex. Driver’s License or utility bill
- Shot records for each child
- Proof of pregnancy (if applicable)
- Ex. Letter from doctor or clinic, pregnancy passport, or ultrasound photo
We also will need you to bring every child who is applying for WIC so that we can weigh and measure them.
If someone else will bring your child to the appointment, we need to have an Authorized Representative Form after which you will need to reapply and provide all verification items again to continue on the WIC program. Between certification appointments you will need to complete a health assessment and nutrition education visits.
Your WIC certification will last 6-12 months (depending on the age of your child) after which you will need to reapply and provide all verification items again to continue on the WIC program. Between certification appointments you will need to complete a health assessment and nutrition education visits.
