FOOD GUIDE

YSanchezReyes Comment on Text update to January 2026

• Buy what you need. You do not have to buy all your foods at one time!

• Have your card ready at check out.

• Before scanning any of your foods, tell the cashier you are using a WIC Card.

• When the cashier tells you, slide your WIC Card in the Point of Sale (POS) machine or hand your WIC Card to the cashier.

• Enter your PIN and press the enter button on the keypad.

• The cashier will scan your foods.

• The amount of approved food items and dollar amount of fruits and vegetables you purchase will be deducted from your WIC account.

• The cashier will give you a receipt which shows your remaining benefit balance and the date benefits expire. Save this receipt for future reference.

• It’s important to swipe your WIC Card before any other forms of payment. Any remaining balance can be paid with either cash, EBT, SNAP, or other form of payment accepted by the store.

Common Questions about your Card

Call your local WIC Program right away! They will stop anyone from using your food benefits and help you get a new card.

What should I do if my card is lost or stolen?

Massachusetts WIC will replace your card free of charge.

Is there a fee to replace my WIC Card?

What happens if I can’t do my own shopping and need someone else to shop for me?

You may have someone else shop for you if you wish. You can give them your WIC Card and PIN. Just make sure this is someone you can trust!

DO NOT try to guess your PIN. After several incorrect attempts, your PIN will be locked. This is done as a protection from someone guessing your PIN and getting your food benefits.

There are three ways to unlock your card:

• call your local program

• call the 800 number on the back of your card

• wait until midnight and your account will automatically unlock

What if I enter the wrong PIN?

What if I forgot my PIN or want to change it?

You can contact your local WIC office to change your PIN.
