WIC

What is WIC?

WIC (Women, Infants and Children) is a nutrition program that provides healthy foods for pregnant women through six weeks after birth or after the pregnancy ends, breastfeeding women up to the infant’s first birthday, non-breastfeeding your infant up to their first birthday, and your child up to 5 years of age plus helpful nutrition information-all at no cost for those who qualify. WIC also offers breastfeeding support and referrals to health care, immunizations, and other community services.

Who can benefit from WIC?

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Women who have recently been pregnant
• Infants under 12 months of age
• Children under 5 years of age

If you are currently receiving Medicaid, Temporary Cash Assistance or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, you are automatically eligible. However, you do not have to be on any of these programs to meet WIC income eligibility requirements.

Florida WIC Mobile App

The Florida WIC Mobile App will give WIC participants the opportunity to view upcoming appointments, view food benefits that have been issued to them in the clinic, scan UPCs while shopping at the store to see if the UPC is a WIC Approved item or not, and provide information on locations of WIC Stores and WIC Clinics across the State of Florida.

The goal of the Florida WIC Mobile App is to give participants all the information they need at their fingertips to make their shopping experience fun and easy.

To register to use the Florida WIC Mobile App, you must be a WIC participant and have been issued a WIC EBT card.
