MyWIC Tips & Tricks for Louisiana Participants

Dos

• Do make sure any documents you upload are clear and not blurry. Make sure you can read the image. 
• Do check your family page before adding a newborn infant, especially if you called your clinic or visited your clinic after your baby’s birth. 
• Do scan items at the grocery store if you aren’t sure if they are on your WIC list. 
• Do read the appointment descriptions carefully, as choosing the wrong appointment type may mean that the clinic will have to reschedule your appointment.
• Do use the myWIC app to upload any documents needed for your appointment, such as a WIC-48 or forms with your child’s height and weight. 
• Do pick a username you won’t forget (use your email address so you can remember it!) 
• Do call your clinic for any help, or email louisianawic@la.gov

Don’ts

• Don’t try and log into myWIC through the app if your clinic emailed or texted you a link-use the link! 
• Don’t fill out the income section if you are already on Medicaid or SNAP. 
• Don’t schedule the wrong appointment type, or multiple appointments, to try to get to your clinic sooner. Make sure you are booking the right appointment for your needs. 
• Don’t schedule two of the same appointments types. 
• Don’t re-start your certification if you were just certified by your clinic. Check with your clinic to make sure you are not already certified before clicking “Start Recertification.” 
• Don’t get frustrated if a product does not scan as WIC approved. Simply report it on the app under the “Resources” tab!
