How do I apply for WIC?

To apply for WIC, you need to contact a local WIC office. Find the local phone number in the list or call 1-800-342-3556 and the operator will provide you with the local phone number. There is also a list of Florida's County Health Department's websites.

The local WIC office will give you a date and time for a WIC certification visit. At this visit, the household income and the medical/nutrition status of each applicant will be reviewed. On that day, you will find out if you and your children are eligible for WIC.
