WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children) is for pregnant and postpartum women, infants and children up to age 5 who are determined to be at nutritional risk and meet income guidelines. You may be eligible for WIC services if you answer yes to any of the following questions:

  • Are you pregnant?
  • Are you breastfeeding a baby?
  • Have you had a baby recently?
  • Do you have a child under the age of 5?

Income
The income guidelines (PDF), which are 185% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines, are:

  • $30,044 annually for a household of 2
  • $37,777 annually for a household of 3
  • $45,510 annually for a household of 4
  • $53,243 annually for a household of 5
