Caseload to be reduced
The state W.I.C. office has
told us that our caseload is not
to exceed 300 participants.
Presently we have 339 on the
program. So, all the children
put on the waiting list during
the last few months will NOT
be able to get on the program.
Since the first week in
October, all W.I.C. programs
in Oregon have been using new
application forms. The new
forms have more strict risk
factors. Only those, women,
infants and children who have
one of the risk factors on the
application form will be
certified for W.I.C. Depending
on the risk factor, the length of
time a participant can remain
on W.I.C. will vary. For
example, overweight children
will be able to remain on for
four certification periods,
participants with a poor diet
will be able to remain on the
program for three certification
periods..
Income guidelines are still
being used. Income means
gross income before deductions
for income taxes, social
security, insurance, etc. Income
includes salary, social security,
welfare payments, unemploy
ment compensation, alimony
or child support payments.
If you have any questions
about whether you or your
child is eligible, contact Karen
Gordon or Ruth Tewee.
