To qualify for Indiana WIC benefits, applicants must meet the following criteria:
    Be a resident of Indiana   
    Pregnant Women
    Breastfeeding Women (up to the baby's 1st birthday)
    Non-Breastfeeding Postpartum Women (up to 6 months)
    Infants (up to their 1st birthday)
    Children (up to their 5th birthday)

Applicants must be "at nutritional risk," determined through a health and dietary assessment by a health professional at the time of certification. Additionally, they must be "income" eligible, with families receiving Medicaid, Food Stamps, and TANF qualifying for the Indiana WIC Program.

WIC services include providing participants with monthly checks for purchasing specific nutritious foods at grocery stores. The food packages are tailored to participants' nutritional needs.
WIC encourages breastfeeding, considering it the most nutritious way to feed babies. Fully breastfeeding mothers receive an expanded food package that includes canned light tuna, pink salmon, or sardines. Infants who are not breastfed receive iron-fortified formula, and starting at six months, they also receive infant cereal and jars of baby food fruits and vegetables.

The Indiana WIC Program collaborates with approximately 150 non-profit clinics across all 92 counties to offer services.

The Official WIC program is available to low to moderate income pregnant women, recently delivered women, breastfeeding women, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Fathers can also bring their children to apply for WIC. You may apply for WIC if you are working or unemployed. Check the Income Guidelines Table to see if you are eligible for WIC. This website was created for women looking for WIC information and locations. We are also working towards adding other locations and services that may help out women.
