   Check your last receipt if you still have it. Your WIC benefits will always be printed on the bottom of your last grocery receipt. Officials recommend saving all your receipts for the month, just so you can look back on them and double check how much food you have left to buy.^[4]

   Scan your WIC card at the grocery store if you’re already there. If you don’t have your last receipt, you can ask a grocery store worker to print you a new one. Before you start shopping, scan your WIC card at a kiosk and ask them to print you a receipt. Then, you’ll have a list of food items that you’re still able to purchase with your card.^[5]

   • You can do this at any time if you just want a new record of your benefits.

   Get a new receipt from your local WIC office if it’s close by. If you can’t head to the grocery store, you can visit your local WIC office to see your balance. You can go to the same one you’ve been visiting every few months, or you can find one that’s closer to you.^[6]
