WIC Card Benefit Update: Beginning July 1, you can check your WIC food benefit balance in real time by setting up a WIC EBT account in the ebtEDGE cardholder portal or ebtEDGE mobile app, or through the WIC Shopper app. Learn more below.
Food benefits are loaded at 12:00 a.m. on the first day of the month and expire at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the month. Benefits do not roll over to the next month. To get the most out of WIC, buy all your WIC foods each month. So it’s a good habit to check your balance before you shop.
There are several ways to check your WIC food balance:
Call 1-855-769-8890 (the number on the back of your WIC card) and enter your 16-digit WIC card number.
Go to ebtEDGE.com and select the Cardholder Login link or download the ebtEDGE mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Check your last receipt for the ending WIC benefit balance. (Tip: If you don’t keep receipts snap a picture of it with your phone.)
At the store: Ask customer service before you shop or your cashier before scanning items.
Find up-to-date benefit balance under My Benefits when you register your WIC card in the WICShopper mobile app.
