Extends certification periods for the WIC program for women, infants, and children.
The WIC for Kids Act amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to extend the certification periods for the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children. It mandates automatic certification for infants born to pregnant individuals participating in the program and requires states to recertify eligible individuals without requesting new income documentation. The bill also extends child certification periods from one to two years and allows for certification within one household family.
