Who is eligible for WIC Services?
Pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding parents, as well as infants and children up to age 5, are eligible. They must meet income guidelines, live in Maine, and be individually determined to be at “nutrition risk” by a health professional.
Fathers, legal guardians, adoptive parents, and foster parents can apply on behalf of eligible infants and children in their care.
To be eligible on the basis of income, applicants’ income must fall at or below 185 percent of the U.S. Poverty Income Guidelines. A person who receives MaineCare, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits automatically meet the income eligibility requirement.
