If you are on Medicaid, TANF, or SNAP, you meet the income eligibility guidelines for WIC. If you don’t qualify for these programs, you may still qualify for WIC by meeting the income guidelines for your household.

You must live in Texas. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to be part of the WIC program. Apply in person to learn if you are eligible. Click here to find a WIC office near you and make an appointment.

Your WIC appointment includes a visit with a nutrition expert to help determine your eligibility. WIC will measure, weigh and check the iron level of each family member applying for WIC and answer any questions you may have about health and nutrition.

If you meet the income and nutrition requirements:

• Infants and children can stay on WIC until they turn 5.
• Women who are pregnant receive WIC food benefits until the end of their pregnancy.
• Women who are fully or partially breastfeeding receive WIC food benefits until their baby is 1-year-old.
• Women who are mostly or only formula feeding receive WIC food benefits until their baby is 6-months-old.

Fathers of infants and children younger than 5 can enroll their children in the WIC program. Just like any other parent or guardian, fathers can bring their children to appointments, attend nutrition classes and get benefits for their children.

Many organizations offer WIC services such as local health departments, county and city agencies, migrant health centers, community action agencies, and hospitals.

​No, the Texas WIC card can only be used at grocery stores in Texas.

Before you move, ask your Texas WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification form to take to your new state. You will need to make an appointment at the WIC office in your new state to have benefits issued. Remember, your Texas WIC card will not work at grocery stores outside of the state. 

Contact the local WIC clinic in your area to tell them you want to transfer your WIC benefits from another state. You can also email spcaawic@spcaa.org to get connected with your local office. 

If you are in the same part of town, contact your WIC office and let them know your new address. If you move to another town or a different part of town, call the closest WIC clinic and request a transfer of your records.

The 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit to Individuals (also known as stimulus checks) is not included in your income calculations when we determine your program eligibility. Additionally, the Child Tax Credit direct payments from July through December 2021 are not included in the income calculation either.
