Do I need proof of citizenship to qualify for WIC?

Each client must be a current Washington state resident to receive benefits from the Washington State WIC Nutrition Program. There’s no time requirement for a person to be a resident before participating in WIC. U.S. citizenship is not required. WIC participation doesn’t affect a person’s immigration status. Being on WIC doesn’t make a person a “public charge”.
