We give you checks you can use to get nutritious foods, free. Who’s eligible? • Pregnant women • New moms (up to 6 months after delivery) • Breastfeeding moms (up to 1 year after delivery) • Infants • Children under the age of 5 You must live in Indiana and meet income guidelines. Check the income chart to see if your family might qualify. When you apply, you’ll receive a personalized nutrition assessment to see if the program is right for you. Income eligibility Families already receiving Medicaid, Food Stamps and TANF are income eligible for the WIC Program. If you can not prove you are enrolled in one of these programs you will have to prove household income. These guidelines will change every April 1st.
*Household means a group of people (related or not) who are living as one economic unit. How does WIC work? As a WIC applicant, you will go to the clinic in your community for a free visit to be enrolled and pick up your checks. At the appointment, you’ll receive nutrition support, and learn about other services you can use to help your family. The WIC checks can be used at local grocery stores for cereal, juice, milk, whole grains, fruits & vegetables, cheese, eggs, peanut butter and formula. The food is healthy and everything is free, which makes it easy to do what’s right for you and your kids. You’re not alone. We know that raising a family takes more than love. It takes money. Unfortunately, times are tight for families like yours all across Indiana. Every month, more than 150,000 Hoosiers count on WIC for good food free, nutrition counseling, breastfeeding support and referrals.
