Income Guidelines

Many working families qualify for WIC!

To qualify for WIC your household income must be at or below 185% of the federal poverty income level. (See Chart below.) WIC uses your gross (before taxes/deductions) income to determine if you are eligible. WIC counts all of the members of the household. WIC counts an unborn baby as a household member.
