With the major baby formula shortage happening across the United States, WIC will be adjusting its benefits for people using it to purchase food.
Not all alternatives to baby formula are a safe option, so people have called on WIC to expand what can be purchased.
The program is designed to provide nutritional food to women, pregnant women, and children at nutritional risk.
Benefits: You can apply for food stamps and SSI all at once
One of the items that can be purchased with WIC benefits is baby formula.
