Will My Family Still Qualify for WIC? |
|
 The purpose of the Women, Infants, and Children program, better
known as WIC, is to ensure that pregnant women and young children
receive the nutrition they need. Low-income women who are pregnant,
breast-feeding an infant, or who have a child under 5 years
old may qualify.
WIC is available in each state and at most
military installations overseas. If you qualify for the WIC
program, you will receive:
- Healthy foods
- Nutrition
education and counseling
- Referrals to other health, welfare,
and social service agencies

If you already receive WIC and are
about to move, try to get recertified as close to your move
date as possible. Talk to your base family center for more
details. To find your local WIC office in the United States,
visit the Food & Nutrition Service Web site.
Overseas locations may be found at TRICARE's
Women, Infants, and
Children Overseas Program Web page.
