The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services announced new income guidelines have increased the number of families who could qualify for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutrition assistance program. Some families who were not eligible for the program in the past may now qualify. Current Medicaid, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or ADC recipients are income-eligible for the WIC program. All foster children under five years of age and pregnant teen moms in foster care are income-eligible for WIC.
