How do I get WIC benefits on my WIC account?

At your WIC appointment, WIC staff will add your benefits to your family's eWIC account. You will get a list of your family's WIC benefits for up to the next three months. The list will have start and end dates for each month's benefits. 


Who should I contact if I have trouble with my eWIC card?

  • Talk to your local WIC agency staff
