Virginia WIC is focused on continuing to provide the best services possible to our participants especially during the times of most need. It has been another difficult year for many families, programs and companies as we navigate through the continued pandemic and its consequences. Virginia WIC is working on getting this implemented and will provide more information once available. This new temporary increased CVB will provide participants with differing amounts of funds based on their category type. As the increased CVB project wrapped at the end of September, new legislation was passed for another increased CVB. The temporary increased Cash Value Benefit (CVB) that was provided to women and children participants for the months of June, July, August and September was successful in allowing participants to purchase increased amounts of fruits and vegetables. Participants will also have access to their current WIC benefits and nutrition education information. The app will also have a store locator that can provide the location of the nearest WIC approved vendors. Additionally, we are excited for the upcoming release of our WIC phone app that will allow participants the ability to scan food items at the store to verify if it is a Virginia WIC approved food prior to check-out.

This is anticipated to be released in the spring in both print and electronic versions. A new Virginia WIC Food List will be released in 2022 which will expand options for our participants. Happy fall! As we are winding down the calendar year, Virginia WIC is moving forward full steam ahead with numerous initiatives. Temporary Eggs Waiver End Date Extendedġ2.
