To find out all the foods available through your WIC benefits, select your state below. Some of the foods available through the WIC program include eggs, cheese, infant and adult cereal, fruits and vegetables, canned fish, peanut butter and canned beans and peas and more. Special infant formulas and medical foods may be available when prescribed by a physician for specific medical needs and conditions. For women who do not breastfeed fully, WIC provides iron-fortified infant formula. WIC believes and promotes breastfeeding as an optimal source of nutrition for infants.
Also, instead of having to visit your local WIC clinic each month for new checks our vouchers, your eWIC card will automatically be refilled electronically. From there, the POS system would deduct the amount from your current WIC balance. Instead of using the checks or vouchers at checkout, you would hand the cashier your WIC EBT Card and they would swipe it like a normal debit or credit card. This replaces the paper checks and vouchers with a WIC EBT (Electronic benefit transfer) Card. In some states they have rolled out the new eWIC system. We have also created a Vendor Reference Guide that outlines the changes to the Authorized Foods List and removal of the temporary WIC food items. The foods specified are designed to supplement your diet with specific nutrients that benefits you and your child's needs. A few state agencies distribute the WIC foods through warehouses or deliver the foods to participants homes. Each month you would go down to a WIC clinic nearby and they would issue the checks or vouchers. In most cases, if you are receiving WIC benefits in your state, you are given WIC checks or vouchers that allow you to purchase WIC approved foods at your local grocery store.
