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