Must the full nutrition benefit (FNB) be provided to all infants receiving infant formula and exempt infant formula?
Yes, State agencies must provide the FNB to all infants. This includes contract as well as non-contract formulas (infant formula and exempt infant formula). State agencies must issue these formulas per the method (i.e., monthly issuance or use of Rounding Methodology) that provides the FNB without exceeding the maximum amounts for the physical form. It is the responsibility of the State agency to determine which method (i.e., monthly issuance or use of Rounding Methodology) it will use to provide the FNB without exceeding the maximum monthly allowance for the WIC formulas authorized on the State food list. The Rounding Methodology more closely provides the FNB of formula to participants. WIC State agencies serving less than 1,000 participants not covered by infant formula bid solicitations must also provide the FNB to all infants using either the monthly issuance or the rounding methodology. Technical assistance for determining formula issuance is available on the WIC Works Resource Sy
