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 |

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The University of Sioux Falls is now South Dakota’s first ‘cardiac-ready’ campus.
The state designation means USF has widespread CPR training, clearly marked defibrillators, and emergency plans so staff and students can act before an ambulance arrives.
Nearly half of the faculty and staff are CPR-certified, and more than 130 students are trained.
The campus also stocks naloxone to respond to possible opioid overdoses.
