Moving to or from Indiana with WIC

Moving TO Indiana

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

Leaving Indiana

Before leaving Indiana, 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 Indiana?

Indiana Department of Health. The official page and application link are cited below — always act through them.

Does Indiana make new residents wait for WIC?

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

Where do I report that I'm leaving Indiana?

Before you leave Indiana, ask your local WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC) card for each enrolled family member — every state must accept a valid VOC (7 CFR 246.7). For help, call the Indiana WIC information line at 1-800-522-0874.
