WIC admin non appro

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the West Virginia State Health Department $603,527 in formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the WIC Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (CFDA 10.557), supporting WIC administrative operations through September 30, 2026.

The award funds administrative expenses for the WIC program, which provides supplemental nutritious foods, nutrition education, and health care referrals to income-eligible pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age five determined to be at nutritional risk. The West Virginia State Health Department distributes sub-awards to local county health departments and community health centers, including Monongalia County, Randolph Elkins, Wheeling-Ohio County, Mid-Ohio Valley, and Clay County entities, to support local program operations.

The award is obligated at $603,527 and performance takes place in West Virginia. This represents one component of the state's WIC formula grant portfolio; concurrent with this administrative award, the state received a separate $20.3 million WIC Food Expense formula grant for the same period under the same program authority.
