- If you are receiving benefits from the following, you will qualify for WIC:
- TANF
- Food Stamps/SNAP
- Medicaid
- Many families qualify for WIC who do not qualify for Medicaid or Food Stamps. The WIC income guidelines are 185% of the poverty level, compared to about 133% for Medicaid. That means a household can have an income of almost double the level required to qualify for Medicaid and still qualify for WIC.
