I don't know where else to put this. Who uses wic?

Right now that I'm pregnant I'm using wic. its helping a lot. if i can't pay for certain stuff i use it. but how do you use them? i have 3 months worth of checks right now but i don't know how to use them. do i use one each week? or do i use them all together at the same time each month? how do you guys use them? it would be so much help. thanks guys.

I get 8 checks a month. 4 for me and 4 for my 1 year old. I usually had it all spread outwhen there were 4 checks. If you are using stuff at tour moms and don't stay there that long I would just save one of the juices and milks for her house.

There's no limit on how many of your coupons you can use at once,you can use all 4 of them at once, but use them before the next month comes because they expire. You only get that amount per month so once you use your four coupons you can't request anymore till next month`s appointment.

You can, theres no limit on how many checks you can use at once, as long as its before the last day to use date on the check then go for it. I only use one at a time because it comes with 2+ gallons of milk kn each check.

I use a check as needed,  i get three checks for one month, two are the same pretty much the other is fresh fruit / veg. I go about a week and a  half between checks, and when baby is born i get an extra one this month.
