Great news! The WIC Cash Value Benefit (CVB) for fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables is being adjusted due to inflation and will be increasing to the following amounts:

• Children (over the age of one): $25/month per child.
• Pregnant and Postpartum Participants: $44/month.
• Breastfeeding Participants: $49/month.
• Exclusively Breastfeeding Multiples: $73.50/month.

When will I receive the increased amount?

The increased CVB amounts will be issued at your next WIC appointment, starting with appointments scheduled October 1 and later.

How will I know if the increased benefit for fruits and vegetables is in my account?
