Find out if you are eligible for WIC and apply

• If you are applying for yourself, you must be at least one of the following:
  • Pregnant
  • Breastfeeding (up to the baby's first birthday)
  • Within six months of having given birth or your pregnancy ending
• If you are applying for your children, they must be under 5 years old.
• You must meet other WIC eligibility requirements based on your income, your health, and where you live.

Your state or local WIC agency will tell you how and where to apply and what to bring to your appointment.

Your agency may not have enough money to serve everyone who needs WIC. In that case, it will maintain a waiting list. See the priority system WIC uses to decide who will get benefits first.
