[mamaMcAnulty]

Who knows about it?
I know its for moms pregnant or already have a baby or child up to 5 but if your married would u qualify still.. some people say its not based off ur spouse its based off the mother and child? Or even if ur spouse works and u dont u can still qualify?  Anyone know from experience

Wic in wi is income based. My boyfriend and I make too much to qualify. Sometimes it doesnt pay to have a good job. When I had my first son I did qualify however he had to be on special formula due to his colic and they wouldn't cover any of it and it was extremely Expensive.

I live in Cali also and have wic . For sure you'll qualify (:

[tabatha_nunes]

They go by your gross income..my husband works and i dont. They take out over $100 wk for health insurance then taxes so we would need wic but gross income we make too much..

I Am In Connecticut And When I Applied For WIC I Just Had To Bring My Most Recent Paycheck. They Didnt Ask About Anyone Elses Income In The House.

Yea my husband only makes about 28k a yr.  But things are a lot more expensive in Cali!!   If they try to say anything just take about 3 or 4 of his check stubs and take your bills to show how much you pay a month on bills an stuff.  An if you can show proof of him paying child support that would help..  but like I said before they didn't ask me for any of that when I went in... :) The only place that asked for all that is DES I went in there an applied for AHCCCS.

In Cali they will give it to you. When I lived in Cali they didn't ask for how much my hubby earn it help us a lot with milk cereal and fruits bc we were really tight on money we paid 600 for an room and he earned 1000 every two weeks so take 600 and bills we had to pay we pretty much had nada left. Wic help us an lot. Now I live with my parents again and still have wic.

[mamaMcAnulty]

I live in cali. My hubby makes over 57k a year and I dont work but income is tight due to him paying all bills an child support for previous child. I dont plan on depending on wic for support just a little help would be fine

[mamaMcAnulty]

[sutton19]

I'm married and I don't work but my husband does and I still qualify for WIC :)). As long as you're pregnant or have a kid under 5 then you qualify :))) an i don't think they Don't go by income. I didn't have to show them any pay check stubs or anything :)

[mamaMcAnulty]

[kml0118]

I'm on wic now and I ad no job and was receiving unemployment they still wanted to know the income of everyone in the house. I had to provide mine and my fiancees income to qualify for wic. The go off of everyone in the houses income in one month and u also need proof of residency. All u

I qualified for wic with pregnancy and still have it now for my 2 yr old.  Qualification is based on an income cap.  You can check with the health department or local social services.  You may receive vouchers for fruit and veggies, milk, juice, bread, cereal etc.  Baby can get formula. Check it out.

I work and i qualified for wic when i became pregnant. It's a program to make sure you and the baby are getting the proper nutrition. I'm in Florida so it may be different in your state butt i would try. The worst they will do is say no:-)

[LadyBeeley]

Basically any pregnant woman who applies for wic gets it. It was a program designed to help women and children while their spouses were gone at war. It is not something to be dependent on, just to help supplement and take stress off the mother. I see women all the time msd bc wic didnt give them enough formula for the whold month, they dont realize its just a helping hand not a gourmet silver platter meal program. They try to base what they give you off your dietary needs. So if you plan to breast feed what you get is different than if you plan to formul feed. And you have to reapply after baby is born.

[July2baby]

As far as I know married or not you still qualify for wic im not positive about the income part but I know ALOT of ladies who have been on it that have been married and hubby's job is really good:-) wic isn't much but it helps alot

[erika1992]
