Federal Government Remains Open

The House and Senate have approved a bipartisan continuing resolution, ensuring the federal government remains funded at current levels for the next 45 days. WIC-approved stores continue to accept WIC benefits and WIC clinics will remain open. WIC participants can be assured that sites are open and WIC staff are available to assist them. WIC participants can continue to shop in WIC approved stores. In the event of a potential Federal Government shutdown, please check back to this page for more details on how a federal shutdown may impact WIC services.
