As program partners, we seek to work with state leaders to take actions to increase card security, safeguard participants’ benefits, and prevent or reduce fraud.

Stewardship of federal funds is a basic expectation of American taxpayers and is critical to the ongoing success of nutrition assistance programs. FNS continuously works to detect, prevent, and minimize errors and improper payments, as well as fraud, waste, or abuse. In this way, FNS preserves public trust, enhances partner relationships, and provides excellent customer service to program participants.

The WIC Vendor Management and Food Delivery Handbook was developed to serve as a resource manual for state and federal staff who operate and oversee the WIC program. The handbook is a comprehensive summary of regulations, policy, and guidance related to WIC Vendor Management and Food Delivery. It does not replace or supersede federal regulations or policies that govern the WIC program.
