WIC offices in Aurora, Colorado

Four things: photo ID for the adult; a birth certificate, crib card or medical record for each child applying; proof of your Aurora address (lease, utility bill or official mail); and proof of income — recent pay stubs, OR simply your Medicaid, SNAP or TANF card, which proves income eligibility by itself. Don't have everything? Go anyway: a sworn statement is generally accepted as a last resort and you typically get 30 days to complete proof.

Colorado uses the federal maximum of 185% of poverty. For July 2026 through June 2027: $29,526/year for a household of 1, $40,034 for 2, $50,542 for 3, $61,050 for 4, plus $10,508 for each additional member — gross income, before taxes. A pregnancy counts as at least one extra household member, and anyone with Medicaid, SNAP or TANF is automatically income-eligible regardless of these numbers.

Yes — Colorado accepts online applications (Apply online or call a WIC clinic near you to request an appointment). You start online and finish certification at a clinic, where the health check happens and your eWIC card is issued. Starting online usually means a shorter visit.

Your local clinic is the fastest route — each listing above has its direct number. Your eWIC balance also shows in the state WIC app and on your last store receipt.
