× 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.

Research & Data

At the state level, CDPH publishes research and data for a variety of WIC program components. These components include WIC program participants, WIC Local Agencies, WIC vendors and WIC program costs. Each of these four components, specific to California WIC, has a page linked below.

Additionally, as WIC is one of the most researched federal programs, there is an abundance of national level research as well as current and historical data on WIC across many areas. These areas include nutrition, breastfeeding, maternal and infant behaviors, public policy, health outcomes, food policy and participant characteristics. For national level data and research, see the Additional Resources page linked below.
