Income eligibility for the WIC program is determined using income standards as prescribed under section 9(b) of the Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(b)). The income limit is 185 percent of the Federal poverty guidelines, as adjusted.

The revised WIC income eligiblity guidelines are to be used in conjunction with the WIC regulations at 7 CFR 246.7(d).
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published revised 2023 Federal poverty guidelines on January 19, 2023:

For a pregnant woman, count each unborn baby in the family size. For example, a single mom with no other children who is pregnant with
twins counts as a family of 3.

For each additional family member above a family size of 8, add the amount specified to the total gross household income.
For example, maximum gross household income for a family size of 10 paid every 2 weeks is calculated as follows:

$3,598 (family size 8) + $366 (family member 9) + $366 (family member 10) = $4,330.
