Texas WIC Fruit, Vegetable Benefit Increase Extended

Texas WIC has announced that the WIC fruit and vegetable dollar amount increase is now extended through September.

This extension, which is now being offered through Sept. 30, 2024, has different dollar amounts based on your category. Eligible clients will receive the following:

Children get $26 each month
Pregnant, postpartum and some breastfeeding clients get $47 each month
Fully and partially breastfeeding clients get $52 each month

If your benefits for November and December are for the lower dollar amount, WIC advises: “Use the myWIC app or contact your WIC office to schedule an appointment to update your card. In myWIC, choose the appointment called “Load WIC Card” to schedule a time to update your card with the higher dollar amount, according to its website.

You can check your WIC benefits by requesting a balance receipt from the cashier at JC Food Mart.

WIC benefits are expected to return to their normal levels Oct. 2024, which are $12 for pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women and $10 for children ages 1 to 5.

Important Update

The Government is open. Texas WIC is operating as usual, and WIC benefits are being issued like they always have been. There have been no changes to the WIC program.

Since talk began of a government shutdown, some WIC clients may be confused about the status of the WIC program. A government shutdown was recently avoided, and WIC is operating as usual. Congress is still working to get the government funded past Nov. 17th. While we can’t speak for WIC, we don’t believe there will be any impact to the program in the near future.

JC Food Mart stores are helping customers redeem benefits as usual. We are open for business. We hope to see you soon.

Texas WIC Expanded Fruit and Vegetable Benefits Extended To Nov. 17th

Texas WIC has announced that the expanded fruit and vegetable benefits will be extended through Nov. 17th.

WIC clients are offered Cash Value Benefits through the WIC program. The extended benefits are:

Children get $26 each month
Pregnant, postpartum women get $47 each month
Breastfeeding WIC clients get $52 each month

According to Texas WIC, all clients who receive benefits on or before November 17 will get the higher amounts for the entire month of November.

“if you are pregnant and have two children (ages 1-5) receiving WIC, you will get $99 ($47 mom + $26 child + $26 child = $99) each month in October and November to buy fruit and vegetables,” according to the Texas WIC website. “If you already have benefits on your card for October and November contact your local WIC office for a time to update your benefits.”

If changes are not approved by congress, the fruit and vegetable cash value benefit amount will return to its original levels on Nov. 18th. The original benefit levels are $12 for pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum women and $10 for children ages 1 to 5.
