Check your state’s WIC website for precise eligibility guidelines, as requirements vary. Generally, you must reside in the participating state, fall within specific income limits, and meet nutritional risk criteria.
Income limits are based on your household size and income, comparing it against the Federal Poverty Level. You can find income guidelines on your state’s WIC website or contact your local WIC office.
Nutritional risk factors may include pregnancy, breastfeeding, or having a child under five years old who meets specific height and weight criteria. Your doctor can assess your or your child’s nutritional risk.
After determining eligibility, you’ll receive a WIC benefits card, usable at participating Walgreens stores. Check the WIC website or Walgreens store locator for participating locations.
Remember to bring your WIC benefits card and photo ID to Walgreens when purchasing WIC-approved foods. Specific approved food items change. Refer to your state’s WIC guidelines for an up-to-date list.
If you have questions about your eligibility or the WIC program, contact your local WIC office directly. They can provide the most accurate and current information.
