Question

Do food stamps cover up for baby formula?

Answer 1

yes it does  

Answer 2

Its food, so yes it will, I think only if its a government approved formula.  since you qualify for food  stamps, get on WIC.  5 cans of simlac is upwards to 80.00, that means you'll use towards 160.00+ on formula a month in food stamps if you go that route.  WIC will pay for it all, and as your child grows it'll help you with baby cereal that's iron fortified, juice, milk eggs.  It all adds up.  If you can get to a wic clinic as a walk in, you can get approved that day and walk out with coupons.  what you will need, is your child's shot record, birth certificate, and proof of residency.  If you are homeless, they will only give you one months supply.    If you are near a place that farms, they also tend to give you farmer's market coupons.  

Answer 3

I'm pretty positive they cover the generic brands like Parent's Choice which is just as healthy as the name brands.  Just make sure that it's the kind comparable to the name brand.  It says which kind it's compared to at the top of the can.

But I'd definitely make a WIC appointment.  Although, I can understand because sometimes you run out of formula before the next WIC check starts and you have to buy extra formula yourself.

Answer 4

Yes foodstamps buys baby formula

Answer 5

Huh? They may cover formula. Not sure what you mean by cover UP.

Go to WIC, they will help with that.

Answer 6

Yes, all brands generic and non generic. But you would be better off applying for WIC for help to pay for it as it can be quite expensive. You can get food stamps and WIC at the same time.
