Indiana WIC is administered by the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and delivered through a statewide network of 174 WIC clinics across all 92 Indiana counties. Many clinic sites are operated by community organizations, hospital systems, and social service agencies, which means the people staffing your local WIC clinic are often the same organizations providing other family support services in your area.
According to IDOH, the program supports over 500 jobs and generates nearly $140 million in food sales at 600 WIC-authorized grocery stores and pharmacies across Indiana.
The INWIC Mobile App
Indiana built its own state-branded mobile app — search "IN WIC" or "Indiana WIC" on the App Store or Google Play. The INWIC app lets participants scan product UPC codes in the grocery store aisle to instantly check whether an item is WIC-approved, view current and future benefit balances by food category, receive alerts when benefits are about to expire, get appointment reminders, and locate the nearest WIC-approved store or clinic.
Indiana Access Pass
Indiana WIC participants are eligible for the Indiana Access Pass, a program that provides discounted admission — just $2 per family member per visit — to 12 Indiana cultural attractions. It is available to families actively enrolled in WIC or other qualifying state assistance programs. A list of participating attractions and eligibility details is available through the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) or your local WIC clinic.
Breastfeeding Support
Indiana WIC has invested significantly in breastfeeding support. In 2025, six Indiana local WIC agencies received national Premiere-level WIC Breastfeeding Award of Excellence recognition: Arc of Greater Boone County, Indiana Health Centers, Johnson County, Memorial Health System, Neighborhood Health Clinics, and Western Indiana Community Action Agency. Several agencies are repeat recipients — Johnson County has received the award in both 2021 and 2025, and Tippecanoe County received it in 2020 and 2024. Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) are available at many Indiana WIC clinics, and some locations offer peer counselors with Spanish and Burmese speaking support.
How to Apply
Indiana does not have a statewide online WIC application. To apply, contact the WIC clinic in your county directly, or call the Indiana WIC information line at 1-800-522-0874.

Income at or below 185% FPL. Automatic eligibility with Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF.
Monthly food benefits loaded to your WIC EBT card plus nutrition education and breastfeeding support.

Pregnant Women Count as Two
If you are pregnant, Indiana WIC counts you as two people when determining household size. That bumps your family into the next income tier, which can make a meaningful difference in whether you qualify — particularly for smaller households right at the income threshold.
Automatic Income Eligibility
If your household currently participates in any of the following programs, you are automatically income-eligible for Indiana WIC and do not need to provide separate income documentation:
- Medicaid — including Hoosier Healthwise and the Healthy Indiana Plan (HIP)
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program / food stamps)
- TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families / cash assistance)
If you receive any of these benefits, bring your enrollment card or a current benefit letter to your WIC appointment. Indiana WIC staff will verify your participation and record it in place of an income calculation.
Foster Children
Foster children placed by the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) are eligible for Indiana WIC services regardless of the foster family's income. Bring the child's placement documentation to the certification appointment.
Income Documentation
If you are not automatically eligible through Medicaid, SNAP, or TANF, bring proof of income for all household members. Acceptable documents include recent pay stubs (within 30 days), employer letters stating wages, unemployment benefit documentation, or other official income records. WIC staff will use your gross monthly income to determine eligibility against the income chart for your household size.
