Expands eligibility for pregnant women, postpartum women, and infants under the WIC program.

This bill proposes to expand eligibility for pregnant women, postpartum women, and infants under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). It requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to request a waiver from the USDA to provide continuous eligibility during pregnancy, postpartum, and for infants. If the USDA does not approve the waiver, HHS must report the costs of providing these services. The bill also appropriates funds to cover these expanded services if the waiver is not approved.
