Using Your eWIC Card
Your eWIC card is loaded just for you by your nutritionist.
To make the most of your eWIC card, you should:

- ZProtect your card by keeping it safe and not giving your PIN to anyone other than your trained WIC proxy.
- ZNot throw your eWIC card away after you have used all your benefits. Your card may be reloaded.
- ZWhen buying food:
- \Tell the cashier you are using an eWIC card before any foods are scanned.
- \Insert your card into the card reader and follow the directions. The system will ask you to enter your PIN.
- ZImmediately report to your local WIC office if your card is lost or stolen or does not work at the store.
