Episode Details

Louisiana’s WIC program is rolling out a major upgrade starting August 1, 2026, with a new EBT card and fully digital benefits management. Families will no longer need in-person visits to reload their cards—everything will be handled securely online, making it easier to adjust benefits and faster for grocery stores. Clinics are already distributing the new cards, and stores will begin accepting them on August 1. If you get your new card before then, keep using your old one until July 31, 2026. Before your first swipe, set a PIN by calling the number on the back or via the myWIC app. This modernization is all about giving families more flexibility and access to the nutritious food and resources they need—simpler, smarter, and more convenient than ever.
