They must also prove state residency where they apply. Another factor to meet WIC specifications, with or without meeting the income criterion, is that the mother or child must be at "nutritional risk" as determined by a health professional. The risk may be medical or dietary in nature and may include conditions like anemia, underweight, poor diet or past pregnancy problems.

    How to Apply

    • Schedule an appointment at your closest clinic. Some pre-qualification may be done over the phone before an appointment will be scheduled. See the third link in References for more information about the Women, Infants and Children program.
