Keep your card safe. Keep the black strip clean and free from scratches. Keep the card away from cell phones, magnets, and hot places like car dashboards so it doesn't stop working to use the benefits.

Use the Mississippi WIC Approved Foods Brochure that your WIC clinic gave you to plan and shop with your eWIC card. The Mississippi Approved Foods Brochure includes information on what foods and brands are WIC approved and the Shopping List indicates the specific types and quantities of WIC foods that have been allowed for your household. The Shopping List also includes the dates that your food benefits must be used by. Any unused benefits are lost if not used by midnight of the benefit end date. If you do not have your Shopping List, you can check your balance at an authorized grocery store.

• You do not have to separate your WIC foods from other foods that you are purchasing. However, by separating the WIC foods, you can easily determine if the food items you have selected are Mississippi WIC approved and allowed for your household. Some stores that do not have registers with built in scanners may require you to separate the WIC items.
• Give the cashier any coupons and your store loyalty card if you have one.
• Once all of your WIC items have been scanned and totaled, use the eWIC card as your FIRST form of payment
• SWIPE your eWIC card and follow the directions on the card reader. You will need to know the 4-digit PIN.
• If there are any items that you are buying that are not allowed on WIC or not part of your food benefits, you will need to purchase them using another form of payment.

When you receive your cash register receipt, make sure the information on the receipt is correct. The receipt will show what your beginning balances for each allowed food item was, what was deducted this purchase and what is remaining, if any. Save your receipt so you will know your remaining WIC balance the next time you shop. Unused benefits do not carry over to the next month. If you lose your receipt, you may check your remaining balance by calling the Customer Service toll free number at 1-855-897-5897, by visiting the Cardholder website at www.wicconnect.com or checking your balance at an authorized grocery store.

Remember that the WIC foods you purchase with your eWIC card are intended only for those members of your household that are certified for WIC and not for anyone else. Selling, trading or giving away your WIC food benefits, PIN, or your eWIC card is not what you agreed to when you started receiving WIC services. This includes selling or trading WIC foods or formula on social media, such as but not limited to, Facebook, Craigslist, Twitter, eBay, or other similar sites.

Returning or exchanging your WIC foods for unapproved food items, credit, or cash is against Federal regulations. This also includes allowing a store cashier or anyone else to buy your food benefits or to use your eWIC card in exchange for cash.

Sanctions or legal actions do happen for participants that choose not to follow their WIC rights and responsibilities.
