Shopping Tips with Your eWIC Card
Your benefits become available at the beginning of the month at 12:01 AM and end at 11:59 PM at the end of the month.

You do not have to buy all your foods at one time. Buy what you need when you need it.

Benefits that have not been spent DO NOT carry over to the next benefit period.

Know your benefit balance. Keep your last receipt or check out “My Benefits” on the WICShopper app.

Coupons and store promotions (“buy one, get one free”) may be used with your eWIC card.

AT CHECKOUT:

  1. Foods being purchased with your eWIC card must be included on your WIC benefit balance.
  2. Before any foods are scanned, tell the cashier you are using an eWIC card.
  3. Insert your card into the card reader and follow the directions. The system will ask you to enter your PIN.
  4. The cashier scans items to confirm they are WIC-approved and are included within your family’s benefits.
  5. You must review and approve what you want to purchase before the sale is final. The cashier should have you review the redemption receipt before you approve the purchase.
  6. Do NOT pull your card out until the system tells you to!
  7. The foods that you purchase will be removed from your eWIC card and you will get a WIC ending balance receipt that shows what is remaining.
  8. Always keep your WIC receipts if you have any issues at the store OR if you do not have the WICShopper app downloaded. The ending balance receipt shows your family’s available foods. The WICShopper app takes 48 hours to update.
  9. Make sure to keep all your receipts if you have any issues at the store. The WIC clinic will need to see them!

eWIC CARD SECURITY

  • Protect your card. Keep it safe!
  • Memorize your PIN.
  • Do NOT give your PIN to anyone other than your trained WIC Proxy.
  • Do NOT throw your eWIC card away when you have used all your benefits.
  • If your card is lost or stolen or does not work at the store, contact your local WIC clinic.

Shopping Guide
BASIC RULES AND REGULATIONS

Your WIC benefits will be available at 12:01 AM on the first day of the month and will expire at 11:59 PM on the last day of the month.

If your fruit and vegetable purchase total is more than your benefit amount, you can pay the difference with another form of payment (SNAP, Cash, Credit/Debit).

Returns, rain checks or substitutions are not allowed. Identical exchange of store damaged product is allowed.

Coupons, buy one get one free, extra free ounces and discount/club cards are allowed.

Do not sell or exchange eWIC cards, food or formula for cash or credit. This includes selling WIC items online.

Look for the following decal at grocery stores to know where you can use your eWIC card.
