📢Important IL WIC Formula Update 📢
Starting February 1, 2026, Illinois WIC will be transitioning from Enfamil products to Similac products.
By May 1, 2026 all Illinois WIC families will have transitioned to Similac products.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️Any new set of benefits that begin on or after February 1 will include Similac products.
✔️If you currently have Enfamil benefits already loaded on your WIC card through January into February, those benefits will NOT change. The changes will be effective when your February benefits begin.
✔️A WIC staff member will discuss this transition with you at your next appointment.
✔️If your child receives a prescription formula, no changes will be made.
➡️This is a transition period, meaning the change will happen gradually as benefits renew—not all at once.
