To see if you are eligible for WIC, you may also use the WIC Prescreening Tool. This Prescreening Tool is not an application for WIC. To apply for WIC benefits, you must make an appointment at your local WIC agency.


To apply, set up an appointment at the WIC clinic closest to you. Find your closest WIC clinic on the Local Agency Directory page.
