Am I eligible to apply for benefits at a WIC office in Houston?

In order to apply for WIC in Houston TX, you must meet specific requirements. These criteria relate to different aspects, including your residency and income. Your WIC office cannot approve your program application unless you live in Texas. Likewise, you need to qualify as low-income. This means that your household earns at or less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). However, you already meet this requirement if you are enrolled in:

• Medicaid.
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Beyond these requirements, you can also only qualify for WIC if you meet the program’s categorical eligibility criteria. If you are a child, this means you are younger than five years of age. If you are an adult, this means you are breastfeeding, postpartum or pregnant. The WIC office in Houston will also assess whether you have nutritional need. You cannot receive WIC benefits unless you have a health risk.

How much benefits could I receive through WIC in Houston?

The amount of benefits your WIC office in Houston TX could award you varies, depending on several factors. Usually, these factors relate to how many people live in your household and your nutritional need. Regardless, the amount of WIC benefits you receive or the contents in your food package is proportional to your family’s demonstrated need.
