To be eligible to participate in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program, you must meet certain criteria, including:
- Reside in Florida.
- Nutritionally at risk. The assessment of nutritional risk is made by a trained health professional, usually at the local WIC office, at no cost to you.
- Meet income eligibility. Your family’s income must not exceed 185% of the federal poverty level. If you are currently receiving Medicaid, Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA), or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP), you automatically meet the income eligibility requirement.
Prescreening Tool
WIC's Prescreening Tool can be used to determine if you may be eligible for benefits. This tool is not an application for WIC. To apply for benefits you must make an appointment at your local WIC agency.For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call 850-983-5250.
WIC Income Guidelines
For WIC eligibility, a pregnant woman may be counted as more than one person. Fees will not be charged for WIC certification or WIC benefits.
If you have more than 8 people in your household, please call 850-983-5250 for more details.
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for WIC's income eligibility guidelines were published in the Federal Register on February 21, 2023. The annual revision for 2022 was published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on January 9, 2023.
