Contact the WIC office serving your area, to schedule an appointment. Refer to the Fulton County WIC Locations listed above. Applicants will be advised about what to bring to the WIC appointment to help determine eligibility.

Many of the State agencies listed provide a toll-free number for you to call and/or a website about the WIC Program operating in that area.

Length of Participation: WIC is a short-term program. Therefore, a participant will "graduate" at the end of one or more certification periods. A certification period is the length of time a WIC participant is eligible to receive benefits. Depending on whether the individual is pregnant, postpartum, breastfeeding, an infant, or a child, an eligible individual usually receives WIC benefits from 6 months to a year, at which time she/he must reapply.

Moving: WIC participants who move can continue to receive WIC benefits until their certification period expires as long as there is proof that the individual received WIC benefits in another area or State. Before a participant moves, they should tell the WIC office. In most cases, WIC staff will give the participant a special card which proves that the individual participated in the WIC Program. When the individual moves, they can call the new WIC office for an appointment and take the special card to the WIC appointment in the new area or State.
