The West Virginia Department of Health has updated income eligibility guidelines for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children or WIC. 

The new guidelines allow a family of four earning $57,720 annually to qualify for WIC program benefits, a $2,220 increase from 2023. The guidelines were adjusted to account for recent inflation over the past year.
