WIC Services

WIC is a cost-effective governmental health and nutrition education program that has shown a positive effect on pregnancy outcomes and on child growth and development. WIC serves Michigan residents who are:

• Pregnant
• Breastfeeding, for up to one year postpartum
• Women who are not breastfeeding, for six months postpartum
• Children under 5 years old
• AND who meet WIC income guidelines

To be eligible on the basis of income, applicants' gross income (i.e. before taxes are withheld) must fall at or below 185 percent of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. The guidelines for WIC are shown below.

What Happens in WIC?

WIC provides the following services to achieve positive health outcomes:

• Nutrition counseling and education
• Breastfeeding promotion and support
• An Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card to purchase nutritious foods
• Immunization screening and referrals
• Health and social service referrals

WIC health professionals (Registered Dietitians and nutritionists) meet with each participant to:

• Assess their diet and health history to identify nutritional needs and goals
• Provide nutrition counseling
• Determine the appropriate foods for that individual and explain how to get them at an authorized WIC retailer.
