On Dec. 14, 2023, we published a final rule that went into effect on Feb. 12, 2024. In reviewing the resulting changes to the Code of Federal Regulations, we found that the final rule inadvertently omitted provisions from the CFR and contained several non-substantive errors. This document corrects those errors in the WIC regulations.

The memorandum communicates the fiscal year 2026 inflation-adjusted monthly cash-value voucher/benefit amounts. The memorandum also emphasizes FNS’ support of state agency efforts to provide more fruit and vegetable options to WIC participants.

This memorandum provides Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) agencies information on program oversight and expectations for the 2026 plans for operations and management (POM) and program implementation.

This report, the latest in an annual series, presents 2023 national and state-level estimates of the number of people eligible to receive benefits provided through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children and the percentage of the eligible population and the general U.S. population participating in the program.

The Food and Nutrition Service seeks to obtain OMB approval for the extension of a generic clearance to collect qualitative feedback on our delivery of services. 

We are committed to supporting WIC state agency efforts to combat vendor fraud, waste and abuse. State agencies should make every effort to increase oversight of WIC vendors through the strategies outlined in this memo.

This is a new information collection for the Waivers and State Plans (WiSP) application.
