WIC - Physical Presence Waiver

Resource type
Technical Assistance

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act gave FNS authority to grant waivers to states of the requirement that all individuals seeking to enroll or re-enroll in WIC do so in person (i.e., physical presence). This includes a waiver to defer certain anthropometric (i.e., height/length and weight) and bloodwork requirements used to determine nutritional risk.
