If you are planning to move out of state, District Of Columbia WIC participants can still receive their benefits until the certification period expires as long as there is proof that they received WIC benefits in District Of Columbia. Before you move, it is recommended that you contact the local WIC office. In most cases, the state agency will provide you with a special card that proves you participated in the District Of Columbia WIC Program. When you have moved, the next step would be to call the WIC office in the state you moved to and schedule an appointment. Make sure to bring the special card to your appointment to show proof you received benefits from the District Of Columbia WIC program.
