What to have ready

  1. Call first — certifications are by appointment; mention if you're pregnant or applying for an infant (priority scheduling).
  2. Bring four things: photo ID, proof of address, proof of income or your Medicaid/SNAP/TANF card, and the children applying.
  3. Expect 30-60 minutes: paperwork, a free health check (height, weight, iron), and in most states the eWIC card issued the same day.
  4. Income near the line? A pregnancy adds a household member, and Medicaid enrollment qualifies you automatically — check before ruling yourself out.

What should I bring to apply?

Four things: photo ID, proof of address, proof of income (recent pay stubs — or your Medicaid, SNAP or TANF card, which counts by itself), and the children applying. Full walkthrough in our application guide.
