Montana's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)

We understand that many of you are concerned about a federal government shutdown that could begin on October 1, 2025, and have received several inquiries specific to WIC. We want to reassure you that WIC benefits will continue to be provided through at least the next month as we await further guidance from our federal partners.

At this time:

• WIC services and benefits remain active.
• We are using available carryover funds to ensure continuity of support.
• We are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.

We understand that uncertainty can be stressful, and we are committed to keeping you informed and supported. Thank you for your continued partnership and trust.

WIC offers healthy food, breastfeeding support, nutrition tips, and connection to community resources. START HERE
