WIC: Program Benefits
Worried about the federal government shutdown?
DHS is closely monitoring the current federal government shutdown. Even though the federal government has shut down, October benefits are available for WIC members. At this time, you can use your WIC benefits, attend WIC appointments, and do not need to take any action. The Wisconsin WIC program is fully funded through the end of October. If the shutdown continues, DHS will update this webpage before the end of October with information about funding for WIC benefits. Contact your local WIC agency with any questions.
