In 2020, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services' WIC program transitioned to an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system called eWIC. This allows WIC participants to more easily access food benefits at the grocery store, with no more paper checks.
In 2025, the cards were updated to make reloads available remotely.
This app for your phone can assist in identifying WIC-approved food items at the grocery store. You can scan an item’s Universal Product Code (UPC) to ensure that it is a WIC-approved item before checking out. It also features nutritional information, food preparation tips, and recipes to help WIC participants get the most out of the WIC program.
