Can i apply for Wic even though my dad has applied for food stamps?

Question

I want to apply for wic because im pregnant and i know they help with that but my dad recently applied for cal works medi-cal and food stamps... will they still accept an application from me even if we start getting food stamps??

Answer 1

Yes you can definetely.  WIC doesn't care what other help you get even food stamps.  They care that your child and you are getting healthy foods and food stamps doesn't always buy all the food, especially not formula if you need it.

You can get it all.

Answer 2

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR WIC because this is for women ,infants and children, you need the extra milk and stuff while you are pregnant and afterwards also just make sure you stick with the program....it should take care of you then your baby for five years i think...just call your clinic if you have questions..

Answer 3

I agree with the lady above me.

Answer 4

Yes, you will qualify. Your question raises many questions for me as well... which I'll make a slew of assumptions. Make sure that the father offers you support, and take it. Work as long as you can, and if you are underage get on birth control as soon as you have your baby.  ( After you stop nursing of course) Take the time out to get higher education for your child, so you can support your child on your own. Good luck.
