Enjoy more Fruits and Vegetables with WIC!
From October 2023 to September 2024
When will I receive the increased amount for fruits and vegetables?
Your WIC benefits will be updated beginning October 2023 to include $26 for each child, $47 for each pregnant and postpartum woman, and $52 for each breastfeeding woman every month for fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
Important Information
Contact your WIC local agency TODAY to get your increase loaded onto your eWIC card.
Please remember, if any October benefits are redeemed before the increase is uploaded to your card, you will not be able to receive the increase for the month of October, so don’t delay!
Did you know?
If you run out of storage space for fresh fruits and vegetables, you can purchase WIC eligible frozen fruits and vegetables to store in a freezer.
