× 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.

Decisions Pending and Opportunities for Public Participation

The Government Modernization, Efficiency, Accountability, and Transparency Act of 2005 requires each state agency to post to its Web site information on Board and Advisory Committee meetings and agendas, information on the Department's proposed regulations, and instructions on how the public may submit written comments or otherwise participate in these administrative proceedings, meetings, and hearings.

The California Department of Public Health welcomes comments on all proposed regulations, in keeping with California’s commitment to provide meaningful involvement in government decisions.
