What if a food item is not covered by WIC? Make sure they have your WIC card, your PIN (photo ID is not required) and instructions about what to buy.
If you can’t make it to the grocery store someone else can go for you. You can shop at multiple grocery stores to get what you need. Use your Connecticut WIC Food Guide and make a shopping list before you go to the grocery store. Check your balance before shopping so you'll know what benefits you have available. If you have questions, go to customer service or ask grocery store management staff. Tags can be a helpful way to find WIC approved foods. Keep in mind not all stores have shelf tags. In the store look for “WIC” on the item’s shelf tag or the “WIC Approved” shelf tags to find WIC-eligible foods. Use the WICShopper App at the store to help you choose the specific product sizes and types of foods that you have on your Family Food Benefits list.įor example: Although the food guide has whole milk as a WIC approved item, if you have a child two years or older, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or just had a baby you will only be able to purchase 1% or skim/fat-free milk. For assistance locating a specific WIC approved food go to customer service or ask the grocery store management staff for help. Not all stores carry every brand and size of WIC approved foods. Look to see what brands and sizes are WIC approved before you go to the store. The foods in a food package are based on federal regulations and are in alignment with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the infant feeding guidelines of American Academy of Pediatrics.To choose the right WIC foods at the store match the food item (for example, cereal) on the Family Benefits List with the brands in the Connecticut WIC Approved Food Guide. WIC provides foods to supplement the diets of pregnant & breastfeeding women, and infants & children under 5 years of age. Special infant formulas and certain medical foods may also be provided when prescribed by a physician or health professional for a specified medical condition.
