Best Answer

The income limits for both the SNAP and WIC programs are determined by the federal poverty level. Each state can set their own limits which can be lower for each according to the cost of living in that state.

Can you use Florida WIC in North Carolina?

If you are just visiting, no. There are residential requirements you must meet to prove you are a resident of the state where WIC services (benefits) are being provided. If you move to North Carolina and visit a local WIC clinic, they will likely perform an "out of state transfer" to request your WIC records from Florida. Typically, you can receive WIC benefits in your new state within a day or two of the transfer request. These safeguards are in place to ensure a WIC participant is not cheating the system by engaging in "dual participation" -- basically receiving double benefits from the program.
