eWIC card

Using WIC benefits to buy food is easy. When you sign up for WIC, you’ll get a card that works like a debit card to buy food at the register.

When you shop at the store, use the free WICShopper app on your phone to check your food benefit balance and which foods you can buy.

Temporary Formula Substitutions Ending

December 7, 2022 - Formula is becoming easier to find in stores again, so the temporary substitutions will no longer be available from WIC.

  • Temporary formulas allowed through February 28, 2023  
  • Buy any size container of Similac through April 30, 2023

Check your benefits and get updates in the WICShopper App

Get Ready for the Change

If you’ve been using one of the temporary formulas, try one of the standard formulas:

  • Similac Advance
  • Similac Sensitive
  • Similac Total Comfort
  • Similac Isomil

You can mix 2 different formulas to make the change gradually, but you don’t have to. As babies get older, their digestive systems develop and they’re often able to tolerate formulas that didn’t work when they were younger.

Worried about how your baby is tolerating their formula? Ask your healthcare provider or ask us. Text 20121 or call 503-988-3503.
