How long will this last?
The temporary increase is currently set to expire on September 30, 2022.
How much will I get?
The regular amounts for the WIC fruit and vegetable benefit are $9 per child and $11 per adult. From October 2021 - September 2022, the amounts you can expect to see are:
- $24 per month for each child over 13 months of age
- $43 per month for pregnant and non-breastfeeding participants
- $47 per month for fully and mostly breastfeeding participants
Where are my benefits?
Oregon WIC staff are working to load the fruit and veggie increase to your eWIC card as quickly as possible, and we appreciate your patience. If you don't see your updated benefits yet, contact us through Messenger.
Is this a permanent change?
The funding amounts are set by Congress, and right now, they have only authorized funding through September 2022. We won't know the benefit amounts for October and beyond until Congress has another vote.
