The New Hampshire WIC program aims to assist low-income and nutritionally at risk women who are pregnant, women who are currently breastfeeding (up to infant's 1st birthday), nonbreastfeeding postpartum women (up to 6 months after the birth of an infant or after pregnancy ends), infants (up to 1st birthday) and children up to their fifth birthday. Benefits that are provided to participants through the New Hampshire WIC program includes supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, counseling at WIC clinics, screening and referrals for other health reasons, welfare and social services.

If you are planning to move out of state, New Hampshire WIC participants can still receive their benefits until the certification period expires as long as there is proof that they received WIC benefits in New Hampshire. 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 New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire WIC program.

What are the WIC in North Carolina enrollment requirements?

When you are ready to apply for WIC in North Carolina, there are certain qualifications you must meet. If you do not meet these criteria, you will be unable to receive WIC benefits from your local clinic. Qualifications include the following:

• You must be a NC resident. If you live in a different part of the country, you must file your WIC application in your home state.
• You must be at risk of having nutrition-based complications. For your child, this could mean he or she has an imbalanced diet. If you are pregnant, this could mean you have a history of anemia or are underweight. Workers at the WIC office will determine whether you meet this requirement.
• You must be part of a low-earning household. There are WIC income eligibility requirements you must meet to receive benefits. For example, you must qualify as low-income. This means your family earns less than 185 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). Alternatively, you can qualify for WIC if you are enrolled in Medicaid or other similar government assistance programs.
