Anyone on WIC?

im on wic for my son and for my current pregnancy. they will go by what is on your payment statement. just call and ask =) heres a + for you

No that's for pregnant ladies right?

I am not on it i do know that if you amke to much they say no way.

Well, the only time that I have had WIC (and I do have it right now) is by having a baby. I live in Texas and as soon as you get pregnant they give you Medicaid automatically. Don't know if you know what that is, but it is basically free insurance--don't have to pay for Dr visits or prescriptions. Anyhoo, as soon as you have the baby you also automatically receive WIC because you and the baby have Medicaid. And that is the only time I have ever had it. I think that we make too much, so I haven't tried.

I'm not too sure about WIC but my hubby and I were definitely in a financial hardship...couldn't buy food for ourself, couldn't pay rent, even had out electricity and heat shut off in the middle of winter and we still were unable to get help. The case worker told me "if you had a child in the household we'd help you even if you were over qualified." What's up with that. They want woman to practice birth control and then you get punished because you don't have children! It doesn't make sense at all to me!

I was on wic before. I really liked it althouh having to seperate out your foods at the store was a pain. I know it has a lot to do with the number of kids you have. Make sure you are reading the income requirements for the right number of children you have.

my family get it you might want to check with the wic office

They are pretty strict on those guidelines. I know we didn't qualify and I'm not exactly bringing home a fortune.

you could always lie and say you are seperated if you really need wic that bad otherwise call and ask they may have raised their income guidelines

Well Iknow it is easier to get on if you have children or are pregnant. If you are pregnant than they count the baby as a person even before they are born if that helps at all. I do know if you qualify they make you go to various classes & such. Good luck.
