Utah WIC Income Guidelines
See if you meet the Utah WIC income requirements. If you are looking to apply for WIC, then your household income will be taken into consideration when determining if you are eligible to receive Utah WIC benefits. To be eligible, applicants must have income at or below an income level or standard set by the state agency.
Or it can be determined that you are automatically income-eligible based on the programs the applicant is currently participating in. The state agency's income standard must be between 100% and 185% of the Federal poverty guidelines. Those guidelines are listed below.
