× 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.

Privacy Notices and Statements

HIPAA Notices of Privacy Practices

A Notice of Privacy Practices is a document that informs an individual of the uses and disclosures of personal information that may be made by the Department's programs that are a "covered entity" under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy regulations, and of the individual's rights and the covered program's legal duties with respect to personal information. HIPAA requires covered entities to develop these documents and distribute them to individuals enrolled in Department group health plan-type programs and/or to individuals with direct treatment relationships with covered Department health care providers.   

The following is a list of the Department's HIPAA-covered programs along with the programs' Notice(s) of Privacy Practice for each program:
