Comment from Kayla Roberson: Hello. My husband, Caleb, and I are expecting a baby girl in May and were wondering about the application process for WIC. I’m currently not working as I’ll be staying home to care for our baby until she’s old enough to where we feel comfortable having her be babysat or in school and my husband currently makes around 50k a year. I’ve been told we wouldn’t qualify since my husband brings home what he does but thought I’d reach out to you as well for more information. Thank you for your time.
