Moving to or from Nebraska with WIC

Moving TO Nebraska

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

Leaving Nebraska

Before leaving Nebraska, 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 Nebraska?

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

Does Nebraska make new residents wait for WIC?

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

Where do I report that I'm leaving Nebraska?

Before you leave Nebraska, ask your local WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC) card. Federal rules (7 CFR 246.7) require your new state to accept it, so your certification moves with you for the rest of its period. Nebraska WIC operates through local clinic sites run by health departments and community organizations under contract with DHHS — contact your clinic directly before moving.
