WIC nutrition benefits: contact a local clinic
Oregon Health Authority · Shared Oregon or institution-specific route
Food and nutrition support during pregnancy, after birth and for children under five.
Confirm current availability: The agency decides eligibility. An application does not establish approval.
How to apply: start, prepare, submit and follow up
Amount or support
Depends on eligibility and program rules.
Start here: Use the Oregon WIC clinic directory to find your county clinic.
1. Is this for me?
Local WIC staff assess the program category, household income and nutrition eligibility.
Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
- Use the Oregon WIC clinic directory to find your county clinic.
- Call the clinic to request a WIC appointment and ask what to bring.
- Complete the clinic eligibility and nutrition assessment.
- If eligible, follow clinic instructions for benefits and follow-up appointments.
Timing: Applications can be requested year-round; follow the deadline on any agency notice.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
A program-specific cost explanation has not been verified. Ask the provider whether this route has any fees, required contribution or repayment terms, and what cost assistance is available.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
The eligibility tool and interest form are screening/contact tools; neither is an official WIC application.

Low-income households meeting provider rules.
Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Submit your LIHEAP or OEAP application to the local Community Action Agency serving your location, using its intake process. OHCS does not accept household applications or award household assistance directly; approved payments generally go to the energy provider.
- Find your county agency in the OHCS directory.
- Ask for LIHEAP intake and available funding.
- Submit the requested application and verification.
Timing: Confirm local intake dates.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
A program-specific cost explanation has not been verified. Ask the provider whether this route has any fees, required contribution or repayment terms, and what cost assistance is available.
5. What happens after I submit?
Read any pending notice for missing information, its due date and the consequence of not responding. Provide the requested verification to the local agency. Check that your energy account and address are correct and ask the agency about your application's status.
6. What if something goes wrong?
A denial notice must explain the reason and hearing rights. If denied or processing is not reasonably prompt, request a fair hearing from the local agency. After its decision, you may request discretionary OHCS review in writing within 30 days: HSD.EnergyServices@hcs.oregon.gov or OHCS, 725 Summer St NE, Suite B, Salem, OR 97301.
