Food and Nutrition Service 

Special Supplemental Nutrition 

Program for Women, Infants, and 

Children (WIC): 2024/2025 Income 

Eligibility Guidelines 

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service 

(FNS), USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (‘‘Department’’) announces 

adjusted income eligibility guidelines to 

be used by State agencies in 

determining the income eligibility of 

persons applying to participate in the 

Special Supplemental Nutrition 

Program for Women, Infants, and 

Children (WIC). These income eligibility 

guidelines are to be used in conjunction 

with the WIC Regulations. 

DATES: Applicable date July 1, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866 

This notice is exempt from review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

This action is not a rule as defined by 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601–612) and thus is exempt from the 

provisions of this Act. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This notice does not contain reporting 

or recordkeeping requirements subject 

to approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507). 

Executive Order 12372 

This program is listed in the Catalog 

of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Programs under No. 10.557 and is 

subject to the provisions of Executive 

Order 12372, which requires 

intergovernmental consultation with 

State and local officials (7 CFR part 

3015, subpart V, 48 FR 29100, June 24, 

1983, and 49 FR 22675, May 31, 1984). 

Description 

Section 17(d)(2)(A) of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 1786(d)(2)(A)), requires the 

Secretary of Agriculture to establish 

income criteria to be used with 

nutritional risk criteria in determining a 

person’s eligibility for participation in 

the WIC Program. The law provides that 

persons will be income-eligible for the 

WIC Program if they are members of 

families that satisfy the income standard 

prescribed for reduced-price school 

meals under section 9(b) of the Richard 

B. Russell National School Lunch Act 

(42 U.S.C. 1758(b)). Under section 9(b), 

the income limit for reduced-price 

school meals is 185 percent of the 

Federal poverty guidelines, as adjusted. 

Section 9(b) also requires that these 

guidelines be revised annually to reflect 

changes in the Consumer Price Index. 

The annual revision for 2024 was 

published by the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS) at 89 FR 

2961 on January 17, 2024. The 

guidelines published by HHS are 

referred to as the ‘‘poverty guidelines.’’ 

Program Regulations at 7 CFR 

246.7(d)(1) specify that State agencies 

may prescribe income guidelines either 

equaling the income guidelines 

established under Section 9 of the 

Richard B. Russell National School 

Lunch Act for reduced-price school 

meals, or identical to State or local 

guidelines for free or reduced-price 

health care. However, in conforming 

WIC income guidelines to State or local 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 13, 2024 / Notices 10023 

health care guidelines, the State cannot 

establish WIC guidelines which exceed 

the guidelines for reduced-price school 

meals, or which are less than 100 

percent of the Federal poverty 

guidelines. Consistent with the method 

used to compute income eligibility 

guidelines for reduced-price meals 

under the National School Lunch 

Program, the poverty guidelines were 

multiplied by 1.85 and the results 

rounded upward to the next whole 

dollar. 

Currently, the Department is 

publishing the maximum and minimum 

WIC income eligibility guidelines by 

household size for the period of July 1, 

2024, through June 30, 2025. Consistent 

with section 17(f)(17) of the Child 

Nutrition Act of 1966, as amended (42 

U.S.C. 1786(f)(17)), a State agency may 

implement the revised WIC income 

eligibility guidelines concurrently with 

the implementation of income eligibility 

guidelines under the Medicaid Program 

established under Title XIX of the Social 

Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.). 

State agencies may coordinate 

implementation with the revised 

Medicaid guidelines, i.e., earlier in the 

year, but in no case may 

implementation take place later than 

July 1, 2024. State agencies that do not 

coordinate implementation with the 

revised Medicaid guidelines must 

implement the WIC income eligibility 

guidelines on or before July 1, 2024.
