WIC Tips 
 
nSeparate WIC foods from the other foods you are buying. 
nBefore the cashier begins to ring up your purchase, tell them that you are using WIC vouchers. 
nYou can not return any WIC foods for cash, credit, exchange, or for a "rain check". 
nYou may use coupons and participate in buy one get one free specials. 
 
nIf a grocery store does not have all the foods listed on your voucher, keep your voucher and go to another WIC approved store, or return to your store at a later date. 
nTalk to the store manager if you have a complaint about the store or a store employee. Call the State WIC Office if you are still not satisfied. 
nComments about the Georgia WIC program can be made at www.wic.ga.gov. Go to public comment survey page. 
 
First day to use: The WIC voucher cannot be used before this date. 
Last Day to Use: The WIC voucher cannot be used after this date. 
Pay exactly: The cashier writes in the exact price for the WIC foods, before the WIC participant signs the voucher. 
 
Amounts and types of foods to be purchased: The WIC customer or store employee may not substitute any other food or formula for the items listed on the front of the voucher. If you have a problem with your voucher, contact your local WIC clinic. 
If you go over the dollar amount listed on your fruit and vegetable voucher: You may pay the difference. 
 
Participant/Guardian/Proxy signature: Signature must match one of the signatures on the front of the WIC ID Card.
