This bill, the WIC Benefits Protection Act, aims to ensure consistent and guaranteed funding for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). It does this by requiring mandatory funding for the program and clarifying eligibility requirements. Specifically, the bill changes the law to mandate that WIC funding be included in the budget and to ensure that participation is based on eligibility, not limitations.
