Technically I should no longer have it, but it was extended due to the pandemic. Also while I MAY qualify because I have medicaid, I don't have to because of my income, it was given to me by the state when I was adopted 18 years ago. It's a stable job that I don't plan on leaving any time soon. I have a full time job that I've been at for 2 years. I also live with the father of the baby, so his income would need to be accounted for as well. And the income maximums are based on my gross income before taxes are taken out. We cam care for the baby on our own, without any financial support.Įdit: I live in New York State. Yes we are young (I'm 22 and he's 25), but we both work full time and make close to 60,000 a year, so I see no reason why I should waste my time and the social services persons time with filling out an application and everything, when I already know it will be denied.Īm I wrong for not wanting to apply? If I were in a different situation (single, out of work, homeless, etc.) Then I would apply, but I don't need it. I've tried to explain that I won't qualify either way, but she is pushing it so hard, because she says that I need the assistance, but in reality, we actually don't.

Which is still almost $26,000 a year after taxes. WIC is also not accepted online by some Walmarts. You can use WIC benefits to buy cheese, fruits, veggies, canned fish and eggs as well as milk, butter, peanut butter and other whole-grain food items. When I told her that we make way too much (almost 20,000 extra a year over the limit), she said that I should just tell them that I don't know who the dad is or that I'm not with him, so that way they only use my income. Walmart does accept Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) benefits at most locations as of 2022. My fiance's mom has been telling me for weeks that I should apply for WIC assistance as soon as possible, but I already know I won't qualify.
