Based on their needs, participants in the WIC program receive different food packages. There are seven types of food packages based on life stage, breastfeeding status, and special dietary needs. Healthy, full-term infants receive routine formulas. These formulas may contain cow's milk, goat's milk, or soy.
How Do I Apply for WIC? Identification: Bring ID for each person in the family applying for WIC. Address (where you live): Bring a document that has your name and current address on it. Income: Bring proof of your entire household income. Shot/Immunization Record: Please bring if you have a child less than 2 years old.
WIC supplies Pediasure to patients when certain medical needs exist. These include failure to thrive, developmental delay, g-tube feeding or very poor or no weight gain over an extended period of time.
PediaSure products are WIC-eligible in most states with an appropriate diagnosis and a prescriber's medical referral. Check with your local WIC agency for additional information on which products are available through WIC in your state.
As of my last update, the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program typically provides specific types of milk, including whole, low-fat, and non-fat cow's milk. Almond milk is generally not included in the standard WIC food packages.
People who receive WIC benefits currently can't use them to buy groceries online at such retailers as Amazon and Walmart.
WIC participants generally have several appointments each year. Certification appointments – during which a family is enrolled in WIC or their certification is renewed – are usually the longest appointments, especially for new applicants or families with multiple participants.
