**** IMPORTANT!!! ***PLEASE READ!: WICShopper CURRENTLY SUPPORTS THE WIC PROGRAMS IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: Alaska Alabama Chickasaw Nation (Summer Lunch Program only) Colorado Connecticut Florida Hawaii Idaho Iowa ITC Arizona ITC Nevada Kansas Kentucky Louisiana (Verification only) Maine Massachusetts Missouri Mississippi Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Otoe-Missouria (Summer EBT) Passamaquoddy Tribe Pleasant Point Pennsylvania Rhode Island Tennessee Utah Vermont Washington West Virginia WIC Overseas Wyoming WICShopper WILL NOT WORK IN OTHER STATES. We are adding new states all the time, so please check back soon if you participate in another WIC program! Grocery shopping for foods allowed by your WIC* program can be confusing. Much of the problem is from not knowing exactly what products you can purchase with your WIC benefits. WICShopper is here to help you shop with confidence. Using WICShopper, you can check the WIC eligibility of products while you shop! In all of our supported WIC programs, you can use your phone to scan products to check their WIC eligibility. In most supported states, you may register your eWIC card, then automatically download your CURRENT and FUTURE benefits every time you shop! WICShopper doesn’t just tell you if the product is WIC eligible… it tells you if you have enough WIC benefits left to purchase the product! In states that use "smart cards" such as Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana it is not possible to load your prescription because it is stored on your card. In these states, you can use the app to capture and store an image of your benefits to use the next time you shop. Here is what WIC participants are saying about WICShopper: "This app ROCKS! I was able to see my balance & the best part was being able to scan barcodes! Saved me a lot of headaches! Love this app, very convenient!" "Loooooove this app!!! So helpful, simple and useful! I've recommended it to everyone I know with the benefits. Thanks for making it." "Awesome app. I love being able to see my wic balance with out having to save and scramble for a recent reciept when I need to go to the store. Very convenient!" "LOVE IT!!!!!! I can never find my receipt so this is very convenient and handy. Even if this app was $1 I would pay for it." "This is awesome u know how many times ive got up to the register n it not b wic approved or something is wrong. Now i can check b4 thank u" "U can scan it to make sure it's approved ?!? Awesome!!" "This is a wonderful app. I love the options it has for recipes, and its so helpful to remember the benefits your recieving for the month. Its also nice that the App. sends you a reminder on the last day to use your benefits." "Thought this was neat cause u don't know ur wic balance unless u go to the store n get a receipt. It even lets u scan stuff to see if its wic approved" "Aww me gusto!" "I live in Iowa and this app has been SUCH a lifesaver! I am using the barcode scanner constantly because there are things covered by WIC that I never knew about and it's so handy! Juggling my 3 girls at the store is hard enough without having to wonder "is this covered?" or "did I use all of that already?" I love that when you scan an item it bot only tells you if its allowed but it tells you exactly how much is allowed! I couldn't be happier. :)" "I have it and love it takes the guess out of shopping for my daughter." "This is awesome!! Since we don't have checks anymore I've been forgetting what all I have left lol." We are adding new states as quickly as possible, so if your state isn't listed please check back soon!
