Eligibility Overview      Income Guidelines

Would you like to see your hard earned dollars take you further each month while improving the health of your family? WIC offers free healthy food you can pick up each month at the grocery store. WIC also offers nutrition information and ideas to spice up your daily meals. To qualify for the WIC program, you need to be:

• Pregnant

• Breastfeeding

• Just had a baby

• Have a child under the age of five

• Meet income eligibility

• Have a nutritional need

If you or your children are income eligible for Food Stamps, Medicaid, Denali Kid Care,

School Lunch or HeadStart and Alaska Temporary Assistance Program (ATAP) then your

income meets WIC guidelines.

 

2008 Guidelines

Please note that: 1.) WIC calculates eligibility based on gross income before taxes are

taken out. 2.) Total income includes all of your family's PFD's. 3.) When pregnant, your

unborn child counts as a family member.
