The Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program is a federally-funded supplemental nutrition program. WIC supports Florida families by providing the following at no cost:
- Healthy foods
- Breastfeeding support
- Nutrition education
- Referrals to other services
Families are screened for nutritional risk and income eligibility. Licensed nutritionists and nutrition educators determine eligibility and provide nutrition assessment, counseling, and education to assist families in making healthier nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle choices.

Eligibility
The WIC Program supports eligible women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, women who have recently been pregnant, infants, and children under the age of 5 years, who have a low or moderate income, are at nutrition risk, and who live in Florida.
Eligibility Based on Income Intervals
Gross wages (before taxes) on your check payment statement, based on how often you are paid and household size, will need to be less than or equal to the amounts in the chart to be income-eligible for WIC.
If you receive food assistance (SNAP), Medicaid, or temporary cash assistance (TCA) you are automatically income-eligible. However, enrollment in other government assistance programs is not a requirement. Our income guidelines should only be used as a reference.

Factors Considered for Income and Household Size
- For a pregnant woman, each unborn baby counts as one extra person in the household size.
- Maternity and paternity leave
- Loss of employment (temporary or long term)
- Gaps in income (e.g. teacher summer break)
- Caring for a family member in your household
- Private health insurance does not affect eligibility
Nutritious Foods and Support for families
Florida’s WIC Program provides vouchers for nutritious foods purchased at authorized stores. Clients purchase the foods at WIC-authorized retailers using a WIC EBT card.
The food package tailored for the individual client is loaded onto the EBT card at the WIC office during certification and nutrition education follow-up appointments.
If you have difficulty understanding English or have a disability, free language assistance or other aids and services are available upon request.
