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.

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.
Eligibility
- Women who are pregnant, recently postpartum, or breastfeeding
- Infants
- Children up to age 5
- Must be income eligible
Eligibility Based on Income Intervals
The gross (before taxes) wages on your check stubs based on how often you are paid (income interval) 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. Our income guidelines should only be used as a reference. If you have questions, contact the WIC office at 772-794-7430.
Things to consider for income and household size

- 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
