Women who are currently pregnant, have had a baby in the past 6 months (past 12 months if breastfeeding), infants and children under the age of 5 may apply. In addition, foster parents and grandparents/family members who are the legal guardian of a child under age 5 may also apply on the child’s behalf. WIC applicants must live in the state of North Carolina and have a family income that is less than 185% of U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. A person receiving Medicaid, SNAP, or Work First Families Assistance (TANF) will automatically meet income eligibility requirements. Applicants must also be at nutritional risk that will be assessed by a WIC Nutritionist at time of application or certification.
185% of Poverty Income Guidelines based on family size, see chart below:
