The Agricultural Act of 2014 (P.L. 113-79, the Farm Bill) amended CSFP’s eligibility requirements to phase out the participation of women, infants, and children (WIC) participating in the program. Accordingly, the 2016-2017 income guidelines are applicable only to those WIC participants who were certified and enrolled in CSFP as of February 6, 2014. Because all women and infants have transitioned off the program, the 2016-2017 income guidelines apply only to children who remain eligible.

Note: Be sure you use the correct income eligibility guidelines based on the time period.
