If you are pregnant or have a child under 5 you can apply for WIC. You will have to attend some nutrition classes, as to all WIC participants, but as long as you meet all the eligibility guidelines you can receive WIC. Benefits will change slightly after pregnancy, but a meeting with someone at the WIC office can help.
WIC Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must meet all of the following eligibility requirements:
* Categorical
* Residential
* Income
* Nutrition Risk

Why would a 15 year old need WIC? Keep your legs closed if you cannot be responsible. Stop bringing kids into the world that you cannot afford to take care of.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, yes, other wise, no. But if you have a child under 5 years, the child can qualify.

If they let illegal immigrants apply for WIC, I'm pretty sure they would let you.
