IMPORTANT NEWS FOR BUSINESSES

The Connecticut Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is offering an opportunity for all Connecticut food stores and pharmacies to apply for WIC authorization for the month of January 2015 for stores that are not currently authorized. Authorization is required for all stores to be able to accept WIC checks and serve Connecticut participants in the WIC Program.

If you are currently authorized and have an active vendor number assigned to your store, you DO NOT need to reapply at this time.

By January 31, 2015, stores who would like to apply must: 1) print the application package and; 2) plan to attend a training session in February. The completed application package and all required documents must be submitted when you attend a training session.
