WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenA move could disrupt a family’s access to WIC or make it harder to learn about the program. The bill aims to address those issues with advance information, verification cards, and temporary presumptive eligibility for participating military families during a move.
KEY PROVISIONS
4AI-extractedPROVISION 01
The Defense Department must notify qualifying enlisted members moving to a new station about potential WIC eligibility.
The notice is intended to help eligible families learn about WIC around the time of a move.
PROVISION 02
State agencies must issue a Verification of Certification card to covered service members when they are certified or recertified for WIC.
The card provides documentation of program certification.
PROVISION 03
During a permanent change of station, an enrolled covered member and participating family members must be treated as presumptively eligible through the end of the certification period that includes the first day of the move.
This could help families maintain WIC participation while changing locations.
PROVISION 04
Within 180 days after enactment, the Defense Department must ensure each military installation is staffed at least 3 days per week by appropriate military personnel to provide WIC information.
This creates an information resource at military installations.
