A fast, realistic path to formula, baby food, and groceries

WIC in Idaho — who qualifies and what you get

• Who qualifies: Pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women; infants; and children up to age 5 who live in Idaho and meet income guidelines (at or below 185% FPL). Idaho uses the 2025–26 WIC limits below. Idaho WIC eligibility and income table. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)
• Monthly fruit and vegetable benefit (CVB): For FY 2025 (Oct. 1, 2024–Sept. 30, 2025), USDA set the CVB at $26\ast \ast foreachchild,\ast \ast$47 for pregnant/postpartum, and $52 for fully/mostly breastfeeding participants. These amounts are inflation‑adjusted annually. USDA WIC Policy Memo FY 2025 CVB. (fns.usda.gov)
• Infant formula and baby foods: WIC’s maximum monthly allowances depend on baby’s age and feeding category. Examples: up to 806 fl oz reconstituted formula/month (0–3 months, fully formula‑fed) and up to 884 fl oz (4–5 months, fully formula‑fed). At 6–11 months, infants receive baby foods and reduced formula amounts. See full table below and the USDA snapshot. USDA WIC allowances. (fns.usda.gov)
• Breastfeeding pumps and help: Idaho WIC provides peer counselors, lactation staff, and breast pumps when needed. Ask your clinic. Idaho WIC breastfeeding services. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

How to apply and how long it takes

• Find a clinic and call: Use the Idaho WIC clinic finder, or call 2‑1‑1 for help booking your first appointment. Bring ID, baby’s proof of birth, address, and income verification. WIC clinic finder and application steps. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)
• Reality check: First appointments can book out, and some clinics may need follow‑up to verify ID or income. If you already receive Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, or CHIP, you’re automatically income‑eligible—tell them during scheduling to speed it up. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Ask for next‑available at any county site in your public health district (not just your closest clinic).
• Request a phone appointment if travel or childcare is the barrier.
• Tell staff if you are out of formula so they can triage quickly or refer to emergency help. Use 2‑1‑1 if you can’t get through. Phone: 211. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

SNAP can free up cash for baby needs (diapers not allowed)

• What it covers: Food only. It does not cover diapers or wipes.
• Maximum benefit (Oct. 2024–Sept. 2025, contiguous U.S.): For a household of 4, up to $975/month. See table below for all sizes. USDA SNAP FY 2025 COLA memo. (fns.usda.gov)
• Idaho income screening (effective Oct. 2024): Example gross monthly income cutoffs from DHW include $3,380 for a 4‑person household. Apply by phone, online, or at a field office; an interview is required. Apply for SNAP (Idaho DHW). Phone: 877‑456‑1233. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)
• Expedited SNAP: If you have very low income/resources, you may qualify for expedited service—benefits available in 7 calendar days of your application date, after a required interview. Ask for “expedited service” when you call. USDA guidance on expedited service. (fns.usda.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Missed the interview call: Call back immediately and ask to reschedule; expedited cases still require an interview before day 7. Phone: 877‑456‑1233. (fns.usda.gov, healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

---

Cash help you can use for diapers, cribs, and clothing

• TAFI cash assistance: Pays up to $309/month for eligible low‑income families, up to a lifetime limit of 24 months. Funds can be used for baby clothing, diapers, or other essentials. Some participants must engage in employment and training. About TAFI. Phone: 877‑456‑1233. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

How to apply and documents to gather

• Basic documents: ID, Social Security number(s), proof of address, proof of income/resources, and child’s birth record. Apply online (idalink), by phone, by mail, or in person. Contact DHW Self‑Reliance. Phone: 877‑456‑1233. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Apply for WIC right away so at least formula and baby foods are covered, and ask your public health home visiting program if they can help with essentials while your cash case is pending. See Home Visiting below. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)

• Official safe‑sleep guidance: Alone, on the Back, in a safety‑approved Crib or Pack ’n Play—every nap, every night. Idaho DHW Safe Sleep. (healthandwelfare.idaho.gov)
