During the 2025 federal government shutdown, Kentucky WIC participants should continue to use WIC services as normal until further notice. This includes continuing to use eWIC cards. WIC-approved stores are able to process purchases at this time. We encourage families to keep their WIC appointments and stay in contact with their local WIC clinics during the federal government shutdown.
For more information regarding the Kentucky WIC Program please visit: https://www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/dmch/nsb/Pages/wic.aspx
