H.R. 10393 — WIC for Kids Act

This section expands adjunctive eligibility for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to include household members of individuals receiving Medicaid, CHIP, SNAP, or food distribution assistance on Indian reservations or in Puerto Rico, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as Head Start participants. It permits states to align certification periods for eligible family members, automatically certifies infants born to participating pregnant women, and requires states to check adjunctive eligibility before requesting new income documentation for recertification. It extends child certification periods to 2 years (from 1 year) and includes children in kinship families for automatic eligibility.
