CNMI WIC program revises income eligibility guidelines for FY 2024

THE CNMI WIC Programs Income Eligibility Guidelines have been updated effective May 1, 2024.

WIC is available to the CNMI’s pregnant, breastfeeding, postpartum women, infants and children under the age of five who are at nutritional risk and who are at or below 185% of the federal poverty guidelines. A pregnant woman is considered two family members or more if pregnant with multiples.
