Using WIC in New York

Everything you need to know: what you can buy, how to check your balance, and where to shop.

What can I buy with WIC?

WIC covers healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, milk, cheese, yogurt, infant formula, baby food, cereal, beans, peanut butter, and 100% juice. The exact items depend on your unique food package and New Yorks’s approved food list.

How do I check my WIC balance?

You can check your WIC balance by logging into the ebtEDGE portal, checking your store receipt, calling the number on your eWIC card, or using the Lulo app.
