July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 WIC Eligibility in Wyoming

There are multiple components to eligibility for WIC, the Woman, Infants, Children program. First, there must be a WIC-eligible member in the household, meaning someone who is pregnant, was pregnant in the last six months, is breastfeeding a baby under one year old, or is a child under 5 years old. The second is the income requirement, meaning your household must meet the WIC income limit based on your household's size.

If your household is already enrolled in SNAP (or Medicaid or TANF), your household does not need to meet the WIC income limit and may be automatically income-eligible. It's possible that a household might not qualify under the WIC income limits, but would qualify under the SNAP (food stamp) program rules, so it's likely a good idea to check your eligibility for both SNAP and WIC. SNAP eligibility is more complex to calculate, so we recommend using our WIC & SNAP Eligibility Calculator to see you're income eligible for WIC and SNAP benefits.

Finally, WIC applicants must be at a "nutrition risk," meaning that the WIC-eligible member in the household has a qualified dietary or medical condition. "Nutrition risk" is determined by a physician, nurse, or nutritionist, and may be determined during a short free health screening during your WIC application appointment.
