WIC’s fruit and vegetable enhanced benefit gets an extension!

The temporary enhanced fruit and vegetable benefit for WIC participants over the age of 1 has been extended.
The amount of fruit and vegetable benefit you or your child receives depends on your category. How much will I get?

*NEW AMOUNTS*

• $26 per month for each child over 12 months of age
• $47 per month for pregnant, partially breastfeeding (limited) and postpartum women participants
• $52 per month for fully or partially breastfeeding (mostly) women participants

Reminder: WIC benefits are good for 30 days and do not roll over into the next month if unused.
If you notice a smaller amount on the Family Benefit List your WIC office provided you can check your current month’s benefit balance to verify your fruit and vegetable cash value benefit amount.

• Go to customer service at the store and ask for an account balance inquiry.

Please note amounts of your cash value fruit and vegetable benefit are dependent on decisions made by the federal government. Any changes will be posted on WICShopper and WIC (ct.gov).
