How to Use WIC

How to Use WIC

• WIC Checks are like cash – they cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. 
• You can buy only the foods and amounts listed on the front of your WIC check. 
• The WIC foods booklet tells you specifically which food products you can get. 
• The WIC ID card must be presented along with the WIC checks. Only those people you assigned at WIC and with a signature on the front of the card may redeem them. 
• WIC checks may only be used from the “first day to use” through the “last day to use” printed on the checks
• Separate the foods on each WIC check from the other foods you are buying.  The cashier must ring up the food for each check separately. 

You are not required to get all the food on a check, but you will not be able to get them after that check is used. 

You must sign in the Authorized Signature space AFTER the Pay Exactly box is filled in by the cashier.
