Resource Abstract:
- On March 5, 2014, a Notice announcing revised WIC Income Eligibility Guidelines was published in the Federal Register. The
adjusted income eligibility guidelines are used by State agencies in determining the income eligibility of persons applying
to participate in the WIC Program. WIC State agencies must implement the new guidelines not later than July 1, 2014. WIC State
agencies may implement the revised income guidelines at the same time States implement revised income eligibility guidelines
for the Medicaid Program. On January 22, 2014, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published its annual
update of the poverty guidelines (79 FR 3593). The HHS guidelines are used by a number of Federal programs, including WIC
and the Medicaid Program, as the basis for determining and updating program income eligibility limits.
