Please report any feedback on the content, layout, or design that you may have to help us improve on future food lists.Īnnually, the Virginia WIC Program publishes a compliance and program integrity reminder. The current English food list will appear with a blue text ribbon and the Spanish version will have the same format in orange (previous version was in green). As you can see, the layout is very similar to the previous food list with slight coloring changes making it easy to identify which lists are the most current.
Electronic versions of the food lists can be located here: 2020 WIC Food List (both in English and Spanish).

The text allowed them to decide how the interaction would be made. The targeted group was given the opportunity to participate by notifying BDT through two-way texts. The identified individuals were contacted with targeted text-based outreach. The VDH sent a data set of all active participants to DSS for matching with individuals who are receiving SNAP, TANF and/or Medicaid. We worked together in a series of meetings and created a data sharing agreement.
This was a new effort to identify WIC eligible families. Next Retailers’ Advisory Meeting (RAM)ĭuring the past six months, Virginia WIC Program (VDH) embarked on a collaborative project with the Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS), the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) and Benefits Data Trust (BDT) to pilot data matching with SNAP and/or Medicaid to identify WIC eligible families that are not participating in the WIC program.
