At WIC: We use the numbers on the inside of your card when you call or come in. We can answer your questions more quickly if you have it with you! If you do not have the card or if you are not the authorized representative on the card, you must have identification. Please bring your children's shot record to WIC also!

For You: The calendar on the WIC ID card tells you when to come back to WIC. The month square should have the date and time of your next appointment. If you are just picking up checks it should take less than 30 minutes but if family members are being recertified or you have to see the nutritionist for a follow up, please plan to spend up to 2 hours with us due to the high volume of clients wanting assistance. The dates inside the ID card will tell you when recertification (eligibility determination) is due.

Our goal is to make your visit as quick and enjoyable as we can. You can make your visit go faster by bringing in all the paperwork needed as well as printing and completing one of these questionnaires below for each person being put on the WIC program. Please click on the forms you need:

• WIC Checks are like cash – they cannot be replaced if lost or stolen.
• You can buy only the foods and amounts listed on the front of your WIC check.
• The back of the check tells you specifically which food products you can get.
• The WIC ID card must be presented along with the WIC checks. Only those people previously appointed and with a signature on the front of the card may redeem them.
• WIC checks may only be used from the “first day to use” through the “last day to use” printed on the checks.
• Separate the foods on each WIC check from the other foods you are buying. The cashier must ring up the food for each check separately.
• You are not required to get all the food on a check, but you will not be able to get them after that check is used.
• You must sign in the Authorized Signature space AFTER the Pay Exactly box is filled in by the cashier.

Or if they prefer they can fax their release form to us and you can complete it at our office. Once we get the documentation of your certification, we can complete your transfer and issue your checks. The Call Center operators will help you through this process so check with them first.
