WIC Income Eligibility Guidelines 2013-2014

On March 22, 2013, a Notice announcing revised WIC Income Eligibility Guidelines was published in the Federal Register; a corrected notice was published March 29, 2013. The adjusted income eligibility guidelines are used by State agencies in determining the income eligibility of persons applying to participate in the WIC Program. WIC State agencies must implement the new guidelines not later than July 1, 2013. WIC State agencies may implement the revised income guidelines at the same time States implement revised income eligibility guidelines for the Medicaid Program. On January 24, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published its annual update of the poverty guidelines (78 FR 16). The HHS guidelines are used by a number of Federal programs, including WIC and the Medicaid Program, as the basis for determining and updating program income eligibility limits.

To be eligible on the basis of income, applicants' gross income (i.e. before taxes are withheld) must fall at or below 185 percent of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines.  The guidelines for WIC are shown below.

Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Check to see if you may be eligible for WIC benefits

WIC provides supplemental foods, healthcare referrals, nutrition education, and breastfeeding promotion and support to low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. The WIC Prescreening Tool can be used to determine if you may be eligible for WIC benefits. This Prescreening Tool is not an application for WIC. To apply for WIC benefits, you must make an appointment at your WIC local agency. This Prescreening Tool might ask you to enter the amounts of your household’s earned (wages, tips, etc.) and unearned income (child support, unemployment benefits, SSI, etc.). Before you begin, you may want to gather this information. The WIC Prescreening Tool usually takes less than 15 minutes to complete. This Tool uses pop-up windows. Please turn off your pop-up blocker. http://www.fns.usda.gov/
