WIC and Medicaid Collaboration Landscape Toolkit

By Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)

While Medicaid historically has reached most eligible children and parents, WIC reaches less than half of eligible pregnant people and toddlers and only 37 percent of WIC-eligible Medicaid enrollees. State Medicaid and WIC agencies have many opportunities to work together to increase WIC participation and improve the health of young children and parents. This online toolkit (with downloadable components) is intended to help state health and human services agencies, local WIC agencies, anti-hunger and maternal and child health advocates, and other community-based organizations assess the various opportunities for Medicaid and WIC agencies to collaborate, with the goal of increasing participation in WIC.
