The Oklahoma WIC Program and grocery stores (WIC vendors) partner to provide an effective and convenient way for WIC participants to receive WIC foods. The program provides participants with WIC Food for specific quantities and types of foods and Cash Value Benefits (CVBs) for fresh, frozen, and canned fruits and vegetables. The eWIC card contains food prescriptions designed to meet nutritional needs, promote healthy birth outcomes, and promote optimal growth and development of children. Authorized WIC vendors accept eWIC Cards for the WIC Approved Items.
WIC vendors process the eWIC card in accordance with the Oklahoma WIC Program Vendor Handbook and Vendor Agreement Information.
