Is There a Waiting List for the WIC Program?
Utah County WIC almost always is able to serve all who qualify for WIC services. Occasionally WIC agencies do not have enough money to serve everyone who applies for WIC services. When this happens, WIC agencies must keep a list, called a waiting list, of individuals who want to apply and to be served. WIC agencies then use a special system, called a Priority System, to determine who will get WIC benefits. Applicants or participants determined to be at higher priority will receive WIC services first. Those who are a lower priority will receive WIC services after those who are higher priority. If, for any reason, a Priority System is required at Utah County WIC, participants will be notified.
