Many working families are a part of WIC.

- For a pregnant woman, each unborn baby counts as 1 extra person in the household size.
- Maternity / Paternity leave
- Loss of employment (temporary or long term)
- Gaps in income (i.e. teacher summer break)
- Caring for a family member in your household
- Private health insurance does not affect eligibility
- Enrollment in other government assistance programs not required.
