What to bring to transfer within Florida:

  • Identification for everyone that gets WIC and is transferring
  • Your WIC Identification/Appointment card, if you have it
  • Shot records for your children, if you have them

You must be currently certified and due for benefits (Florida WIC EBT cards may be used at authorized stores anywhere in the state)

 

What to bring to transfer from another state:

  • Identification for everyone that gets WIC and is transferring
  • Proof of where you live now
  • Shot records for children, if you have them
  • EBT card or any WIC checks you have from the other state. You cannot get benefits from more than one state for the same time period.

Your WIC Identification/Transfer card, from your last WIC Program. If you don’t have this you should call that agency and ask them to fax your “Verification of Certification” to us at the fax number listed above for the location where you have an appointment. Or if they prefer they can fax their release form to us and you can complete it at our office. Once we get the documentation of your certification, we can complete your transfer and issue your benefits and EBT card. The Call Center operators will help you through this process so check with them first.
