Benefits

WIC nutritionists are required to help determine benefits based upon need. This will require communication with other state workers (such as social workers or human service workers) to ascertain eligibility for WIC benefits. After determining their nutritional needs, the WIC nutritionist will then make a dietary plan that fits their benefit eligibility. Working closely to ensure that WIC benefits can satisfy basic dietary needs, the nutritionist may then outline supplementary dietary needs based on client history and possibly refer clients to food stamp programs to assist with additional costs.
