WIC benefits will increase

Monthly benefits for the families participating in the Wyoming WIC Program will see a significant temporary boost over the next few months.
The Wyoming WIC Program is also known as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children. It’s a joint federal and state government effort under the USDA that provides nutritious foods and education, breastfeeding support and healthcare referrals for income-eligible women who are pregnant or postpartum, infants and children up to age 5.
All caregivers are welcome to receive help from the program including dads, foster parents, guardians, grandparents, and stepparents. Through September 30th, the fruit and vegetable voucher included as one part of WIC benefits has been increased to $35 a month per participant from the standard $9 a month for children and $11 a month for women.
The increase was included in the federal American Rescue Plan Act approved earlier this year.
