The North Carolina Special Supplemental Nutrition Program Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Program has changed to a new WIC app. This means that WIC participants will need to delete the previous Bnft app and download the new official app, ebtEDGE. Visit www.ebtEDGE.com or download the app where you normally get your phone apps to register your eWIC card and gain access to see your WIC food benefits.
There are several ebtEDGE options available when you go to download the app. The icon for the WIC-endorsed app resembles a fried egg (a white circle with a smaller yellow circle in the center). It is important to note the WIC app will not ask you for your social security number, so do not enter a social security number. If you are having problems finding the app, you can call the eWIC customer service number at 1-844-230-0813 for assistance.
The new eWIC app looks like this:
The WIC program provides supplemental nutrition (healthy foods), nutrition education, breastfeeding support and community or healthcare referrals for women who: are pregnant, have had a baby in the last 6 months, or are breastfeeding and have had a baby in the last 12 months, as well as infants and children up to 5 years of age. To be eligible, the child or mother must: live in the state of North Carolina, live in a household with an income at or below 185% of the Federal poverty income guidelines, and have a nutrition-related problem or be at risk of developing a nutrition-related problem. The pregnant women, post-partum women and children mentioned above who receive Medicaid or Food and Nutrition Services (SNAP) meet the WIC income eligibility criteria. Alamance County WIC currently serves more than 4,000 participants.
The Alamance County WIC office is located at 319 N. Graham-Hopedale Rd., Burlington, NC, 27217. Please call 336-570-6745 with inquiries or to schedule an appointment. You may also visit the WIC website at https://www.ncdhhs.gov/ncwic to learn more about WIC.
