When and How to Renew WIC Benefits

Once you join Clinica Sierra Vista’s WIC program, you’re part of a community that supports you through every stage of your journey—from pregnancy to your child’s fifth birthday. Renewing your WIC benefits is quick, simple, and helps keep your healthy food and support going strong.
When and How to Renew WIC Benefits

Renew Once a Year

To stay active in the program, you’ll renew your eligibility once a year. This short appointment confirms your information and helps us make sure you’re getting the right benefits for your family’s needs.

In between renewals, you’ll complete:

  • Two short education sessions—to keep learning helpful nutrition tips.
  • One midway health check—a quick visit or phone call to check in on your family’s health and goals.

Most of these can be done over the phone or in person—whatever works best for your schedule.


Support All Year Long

WIC isn’t just about benefits—it’s about people. Throughout the year, you’ll have access to counselors and trained nutrition and breastfeeding professionals who are here to help with anything from:

  • Toddler feeding struggles
  • Healthy meal ideas
  • Pregnancy and postpartum nutrition

You’ll always have someone to turn to for guidance, encouragement, and practical advice.


Stay Connected, Stay Supported

Renewing is simple—and it ensures your family keeps getting healthy food, expert support, and care you can count on.

If you’re not sure when your renewal is due, or if you need help with your next education session, just reach out. Your WIC team is ready to help.

Do I Qualify for WIC?

WIC is a program that helps families with food and nutrition. Call us at (661) 862-5422 or send a message, and we’ll help you see if you qualify.

Here are some ways you might qualify:

  • You are pregnant
  • You are breastfeeding a baby who is less than one year old
  • You had a baby in the last six months
  • You have a child who is under the age of five
  • You experienced a loss of pregnancy or had a termination

You also need to think about your family’s income. Here are the monthly income limits for family sizes:

  • 1 Person: $2,413
  • 2 Persons: $3,261
  • 3 Persons: $4,109
  • 4 Persons: $4,957

This income limit is based on 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, and these amounts will be effective from April 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026.

Also, if you’re pregnant, the baby counts as part of your family size when figuring out if you qualify.
