Moving to or from Utah with WIC
Moving TO Utah
Moving to Utah with WIC? Bring a Verification of Certification (VOC) from your old clinic and Utah Department of Health and Human Services must honor it — you keep your certification without a new income screening until the period ends.
Leaving Utah
Before leaving Utah, 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 Utah?
Utah Department of Health and Human Services. The official page and application link are cited below — always act through them.
Does Utah make new residents wait for WIC?
No state may impose a residency waiting period for WIC. You apply as soon as you live in Utah; eligibility is decided on Utah's own rules.
Where do I report that I'm leaving Utah?
Before you leave Utah, ask your local WIC clinic for a Verification of Certification (VOC) card for each participant — federal rules (7 CFR 246.7) require your new state to accept it, so your WIC certification moves with you. Then contact a WIC clinic in your new state to transfer.
