Income Guidelines are revised every July. Check with the local WIC project to find out if you and your family meet the guidelines.

You are income eligible for WIC if you currently receive Kinship Care, W-2, Food Stamps, Badger Care, or Medicaid, including healthy Start. You may be income eligible for WIC if Food Stamp eligibility has been canceled.

The WIC Program uses the same income criteria as free and reduced price school lunches.
Fathers, guardians or foster parents may apply for WIC for their children.
