This website is not affiliated with any government organization or SNAP program. This project has no affiliation with 18F, instead building on top of the code they started. The original prototype that this project is based on was created by 18F, a government organization. citizens, benefit changes due to the pandemic, and full Spanish translation. The calculator supports eligibility screening for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, households where some members are not U.S. We have reviewed SNAP policy manuals from every state in order to build one tool that is accessible nationwide and adaptable to changes in SNAP policy. This website is run by Ben Molin and Andreas Vandris. To find out all the foods available through your WIC benefits, select your state below.The goal of this website and SNAP prescreener is to help connect individuals to SNAP benefits and to make SNAP eligibility data more accessible. Some of the foods available through the WIC program include eggs, cheese, infant and adult cereal, fruits and vegetables, canned fish, peanut butter and canned beans and peas and more. Special infant formulas and medical foods may be available when prescribed by a physician for specific medical needs and conditions. For women who do not breastfeed fully, WIC provides iron-fortified infant formula. WIC believes and promotes breastfeeding as an optimal source of nutrition for infants. Also, instead of having to visit your local WIC clinic each month for new checks our vouchers, your eWIC card will automatically be refilled electronically. From there, the POS system would deduct the amount from your current WIC balance. Instead of using the checks or vouchers at checkout, you would hand the cashier your WIC EBT Card and they would swipe it like a normal debit or credit card. This replaces the paper checks and vouchers with a WIC EBT (Electronic benefit transfer) Card. In some states they have rolled out the new eWIC system.

The foods specified are designed to supplement your diet with specific nutrients that benefits you and your child's needs. Each month you would go down to a WIC clinic nearby and they would issue the checks or vouchers. In most cases, if you are receiving WIC benefits in your state, you are given WIC checks or vouchers that allow you to purchase WIC approved foods at your local grocery store.
