WIC - Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Who is the WIC Program for?
A: WIC is for all kWIC Logo NEW.jpginds of families: married and single parents, working or not working. If you are a father, mother, grandparent, foster parent or other legal guardian of a child under 5 years of age, you can apply for WIC for your child.

You can participate in WIC if you:

  • Live in Massachusetts
  • Have a nutritional need (WIC staff can help you determine this)
  • Are a child under 5, or a pregnant of breastfeeding woman, and
  • Have a family income less than WIC Income Guidelines  

If you are currently getting TAFDC, SNAP or MassHealth (Medicaid), you are automatically income eligible. Foster children under the age of 5 are automatically eligible for WIC.

Q: Can Men Participate in WIC?
A: WIC welcomes men. WIC recognizes the important role that fathers, grandparents, step-parents and other guardians play in caring for kids. Fathers and other caregivers of children under 5 years of age are encouraged to enroll, attend appointments and nutrition and health workshops, and use the WIC Card in grocery stores.
