Moving to or from Florida with WIC

Moving TO Florida

Moving to Florida with WIC? Bring a Verification of Certification (VOC) from your old clinic and Florida Department of Health must honor it — you keep your certification without a new income screening until the period ends.

Leaving Florida

Before leaving Florida, ask your WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC). Every other state is federally required to accept it, so your certification continues after the move.

Common questions

Who runs WIC in Florida?

Florida Department of Health, which runs the program as Florida WIC. The official page and application link are cited below — always act through them.

Does Florida make new residents wait for WIC?

No state may impose a residency waiting period for WIC. You apply as soon as you live in Florida; eligibility is decided on Florida's own rules.

Where do I report that I'm leaving Florida?

Before leaving Florida, ask your county health department WIC office for a Verification of Certification (VOC) card — you can keep using your remaining certification in the new state. If you leave without one, the new clinic can ask your old Florida WIC office to fax the Verification of Certification.
