South Dakota’s WIC Program implements new income guidelines July 1
The South Dakota Department of Health has released new income guidelines for the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program effective July 1, 2024.
WIC is a special supplemental nutrition program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provided at no cost to eligible moms, infants, and children. It aims to empower families through support with healthy eating, nutrition, and breastfeeding, as well as offering referrals to other essential services. WIC strives to help improve the overall health and well-being of families.
“WIC makes a profound difference in the lives of families, offering essential nutrition, heartfelt discussions, and unwavering support,” said Department of Health Secretary, Melissa Magstadt. “The mission is to empower moms, infants, and children with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive and live healthier, happier lives.”
If your family’s annual income does not exceed the following amounts for the size of your family, you could qualify for WIC:
Family Size |
185% of Federal Poverty Level | Family Size |
185% of Federal Poverty Level |
| 1 | $27,861 | 6 | $77,626 |
| 2 | $37,814 | 7 | $87,579 |
| 3 | $47,767 | 8 | $97,532 |
| 4 | $57,720 | 9 | $107,485 |
| 5 | $67,673 | 10 | $117,438 |

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — It’s a “hat trick” for a South Dakota wildlife artist.
Adam Grimm of Wallace, South Dakota this week won the 2024 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest with an acrylic painting of a pair of spectacled eiders.
The Stamp will go on sale in late June of next year.
The Federal Duck Stamp raises approximately $40 million a year, which helps conserve wetland habitats in the National Wildlife Refuge System.
