Can i apply for the WIC program? Do i qualify?

Each state and city are different for wait time. When I was in Florida you couldn't just walk in, you had to make an appointment and that normally took 2 weeks or longer. Now that i'm in Kentucky and the city i live in is smaller i got an appointment within 1 wk. And the day you sign up is the day you get your WIC checks. If i remember correctly if you make under 34,000 a year ,then you qualify. They will ask for ID, proof of address, proof of income, and sometimes shot records. You do not need to take in your husbands last pay stub. You only bring in the pay stub from who is working. And if you neither work then you can have someone write a letter stating they give you so much per month to get by on and have them sign it. Now if you are applying for food stamp you will need previous pay stub sometimes. Most states are using Good Start Gentle Plus and if your state is using this formula and your child don't like it or needs something else you have to get a doctors note from your doctor stating why they need a different formula...Only your infant or child under 5 will get it. If your pregnant, you will get it too. When your baby turns one then you get milk for her along with other stuff too...Contact your local WIC office because more then likely you will have to make an appointment. Also it don't hurt to contact your fs office too. I lost my job too so i know what your going thru. Good luck
