WIC Still Open If State Gov Shuts Down
Jun 16, 2015
WIC Nutrition Program Will Still Serve Clients If State Government Shuts Down
This is due to the critical nature of WIC services and because WIC is federally funded. If the Washington state government shuts down July 1, 2015:
- Clients can use their WIC checks at contracted stores.
- Local WIC clinics will be open to provide WIC services.
- The State WIC office will operate as usual.
- Authorized WIC vendors will still accept WIC checks and vendors will still receive payment.
