WIC income guidelines

@Justine I should have gotten on it earlier. I thought I would be able to get a job quickly like my last two ugh. I’m assuming it’s easy if I’m not married but I was going to use my daughter’s insurance card for proof of identification and she’s on his insurance
A lot of benefits depend on how you file taxes. I'm not married and claim my daughter while I stay home with her. Her father covers our housing costs. That's how my daughter and I have medi-cal, calfresh, and WIC. I think it should be ok that she is on his insurance but I'm not sure what documents they might ask for as "proof" of no income. For calfresh I just had to show a screenshot of my unemployment ending and that was good enough.
In addition to WIC, if you claim her and her father does not I recommend getting calfresh as well! It's been unbelievably helpful. The process to get it sucks but once you have it it's great. I wish you luck!
I dont lie. I’m just that poor! We legitimately qualify for Medical, Cal Works, WIC, and CalFresh. Thank god bc I have twins.
I also dont work right bow and get wic you have to make something according to them so i told them i get $100 from my family claim me and my daughter and dont mention my bf also we are together and live together but he makes to much so i just say we live separately and are co parenting and apply for ebt i used ti hate on it so muuch but $530 for me and my daughter a month fills our fridge now idk what i would do without it😂
Yeah it’s easier to get government aid if ur not married and working. For me unfortunately I don’t work and live with my husband whom I’m married to legally so we don’t qualify for any government aid, we pay for everything.
I claimed the baby, and I'm not married, but my partner makes a lot of money. I was on WIC and Calfresh for a few months before getting a job. To me, if I'm not married, then there is nothing holding a man back from kicking me and the baby out, so I'd be on my own. Therefore, I made sure we were covered with those benefits and medi-cal cuz I almost did leave the relationship at one point.
Yes girl, people are lying about their income or they’re not married. I only have WIC for one more year then I know we won’t qualify anymore. We only have it cuz my son is on Medi-cal but me, my husband and my baby on the way will be on Kaiser insurance. And since I don’t work they will eventually ask what my husband’s income is and he makes pretty good money but it’s nice to have government help especially in this economy.
