The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is for low income pregnant women, breastfeeding women up to 12 months postpartum, non-breastfeeding women up to 6 months postpartum, and infants and children up to 5 years of age who have a medical/nutritional risk and meet financial eligibility criteria. Funding is provided by the United States Department of Agriculture. WIC is administered by the Georgia Department of Public Health and the Fulton County Board of Health.
WIC provides nutritious foods to supplement diets as well as information on healthy eating and referrals to health care.
SERVICES PROVIDED
Generally, WIC is available to:
Participants will "graduate" at the end of one or more certification periods. An eligible individual usually receives WIC benefits from 6 months to a year, at which time she/he must reapply.
You can take the WIC Eligibility Assessment to see if you qualify or contact your local WIC office to make an appointment and find out which documents you will need to bring with you. At your appointment, WIC staff will check to see if you and your family qualify. You can find the online application at this link.
WIC participants who move can continue to receive WIC benefits until their certification period expires as long as there is proof the individual received WIC benefits in a previous locality or state. WIC staff at that location will provide you with a special card to present to the WIC office in your new location. When you arrive for your first appointment, be sure to bring that card with you.
