Question: Can a person(s) qualify and recieve WIC benefits without becoming a US citizen?
I ask because of an incident at a local food store, where there was a couple, with 4 children, and the mother had a folder full of WIC vouchers. They could have been "naturalized"citizens, however, they spoke little English, and had gotten items that did not meet the WIC guidelines, clearly printed on the instructions. The cashier had to explain, well, try to explain to them, about the items.
Needless to say, everyone in line went to another checkout, as this process was taking some time.
Of course the beer, cokes, candy etc was in a different cart.
