How long does it take to get approved for medicaid and wic?
I went to the health dept today, they set up with with a wic appointment, and i went by the medicaid office to fill out the application. I work two days a week if that, but im 24 years old. I have to take my check-stubs by there before my WIC appointment tomorrow at 2. She told me at the medicaid office to stop by there first, so they give me my approval letter……..
Anyone know what she meant by that?

In order to get WIC, you usually have to have an approval letter or proof that you recieve medicaid. Once you are approved for medicaid, go into your WIC office, and they will set you up with your card and your “shopping list” that same day.
Good Luck

If you are approved for Medicaid, you automatically are approved for WIC. Approval varies by the county and depends on how much money is available before the end of the fiscal year. If they don’t have the money, they will delay approval. When you go to your appointment tomorrow, that is a good question to ask.
