WIC uses gross income to determine a household’s income. Gross income is defined as the total cash received by the household before taxes. To qualify for WIC, a family’s income must be less than or equal to the limit in the table below for their family size.
Families receiving Medi-Cal, CalFresh, or CalWORKS may be income-eligible for WIC.
Each foster child is counted as a family of one.

What if I don’t have a required document?
After we complete your enrollment, you will have 30 days to provide the documents requested. Tell your WIC counselor during your appointment if you cannot provide a document. WIC will generally accept a sworn statement as a last resort.
What’s next?
If you qualify for WIC, you will receive a WIC card that you can use to buy food each month. The counselor will make sure you understand your benefits, ask about your family’s health and nutrition, provide nutrition information, and connect you to other programs you qualify for. This might be done at the same time as your eligibility assessment or at a future appointment. Welcome to WIC!
WIC announced new income guidelines starting May 1, 2026, which will qualify more families for the program. This increase means more families are eligible to receive healthy foods, nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and more from WIC. As families face job uncertainties, inflation, and rising food costs, the number of those served grows each month. Phone and video appointments offer convenient options for working parents and busy families, while in-person appointments are available at our 27 offices.
To qualify for WIC, a family must have an income that is less than the limits listed below and be in a category WIC serves. A family or individual may be eligible if they:
Have a child under the age of five
Are pregnant
Are breastfeeding a baby under the age of one
Had a baby within the last six months
Experienced a pregnancy loss/termination within the last six months
Not enrolled in WIC?Apply now! Families who previously did not qualify for WIC are encouraged to reapply again if they are within the new income limits.
Need to renew your WIC account? Text APPT with your preferred date and time to 91997 to schedule an appointment.
The new income limits are effective starting May 1, 2026. Families must make no more than the amount listed below per household size. WIC uses gross income (before taxes) to determine a household's income. Families who already receive Medi-Cal, CalFresh, or CalWORKS may already meet the income guidelines for WIC. Participating in other benefit programs does not affect the amount of WIC benefits you receive, and you may participate in multiple benefit programs at once.
