Definition
This indicator represents persons who are eligible for and receive a food voucher and nutrition education contract through the WIC Program. To be eligible for WIC, low-income women, infants, and children must be found to be at nutritional risk for medical or dietary reasons. WIC is a prevention program targeted to provide nutrition education, nutritious food, and access to health care. WIC is not an entitlement program.
