just go apply in your local WIC office.
You can make a substantial amount of money and still qualify.
its primarily a program to promote good nutrition in pregnant women and babies.
IT IS NOT welfare like some idiots believe.
i make good money and get wic. they teach you the best ways to breastfeed and how to install carseats correctly and whats best to feed your baby. good times.

They base your elligibility on how many people that live in your household and what the combined income is. We have a family of 6 and thank goodness we are right under the 52,000 income guideline so we qualify for formula, cereal, juice, and all of the foods that our toddlers get. All you have to do is call your local WIC office (you can call the Dept. of Health to find the nearest office) and they will help you do the math to find out if you qualify. It really saves a lot of money per month!

You go to the place and feel out paper work. Some places base it on income others dont. I get it and I make way more than when I first started getting wic.

You really can make quite a bit of money and still qualify. Most likely you will. Go apply at your local health department.

Just contact Social Services. Or, check your State Health Dept. online.
My state has the main guidelines online to determine if you are likely eligible. You can be working and still qualify if you meet the income guidelines.

Qualification is based on income. http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/howtoapply/default.htm
This will have links to find a WIC office in your area as well as guidelines and requirements.

The best thing is to go in and apply. I know several people who were not low income and recieved it. My aunt did and they are middle income not low. Formula is horribly expensive!

Yeah don't be embarrassed either, just go into your local office and they will answer any questions you have. or if you want to be anonymous go to the website or call them. Best of luck to you!
