× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

Local Oral Health Programs

The California Healthcare, Research, and Prevention Tobacco Act of 2016 (Proposition 56) provides funding for 61 Local Health Jurisdictions (LHJs) to create and expand capacity at the local level to educate, prevent, and provide linkages to treatment programs. Grantees establish or expand upon existing programs by including the following activities related to oral health: education, disease prevention, community-clinical linkages, and surveillance. These local-level activities will improve the oral health of all Californians.
