Officials with the Iowa Dept. of Public Health said Thursday that a temporary budget has been passed to fund the WIC program until January 15th. That means they are now able to print October, November, and December checks effective immediately. If you have an appointment scheduled this month, make sure you keep it to receive your checks.

If you have been to clinic this month and received October checks, but still need to receive November and December checks, you will receive those checks in November and your local agency will decide how they will get those checks to you.

Questions should be directed to the state WIC office (1-800-532-1579) or your local agency.
