WIC Program Update – Georgia Department of Public Health
The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is projecting that Georgia’s WIC program will continue normal operations through approximately mid-November despite the ongoing federal government shutdown.
“At this time, Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is projecting that Georgia WIC will have sufficient funding to continue program operations through approximately mid-November. However, a break in WIC benefits could occur due to an extended federal government shutdown. DPH continues to evaluate options to extend WIC benefits as long as possible. WIC participants should continue to attend appointments and use the eWIC card at authorized Georgia WIC vendors until otherwise directed,” said Nancy Nydam Shirek, Director, Division of Communications for the Georgia Department of Public Health.
