A federal shutdown risks WIC funding, threatening nutrition aid for 6 million low-income mothers and children.
The federal government shutdown starting October 1, 2025, threatens the WIC program, which supports over 6 million low-income mothers and children with nutrition aid like formula, milk, and produce.
With only $150 million in reserves, funding could run out within two weeks if the shutdown continues.
Political disputes over spending, health care tax credits, and Medicaid have stalled a budget deal, while proposed Republican cuts add further uncertainty.
Some states may extend benefits temporarily, but many cannot, leaving WIC’s future at risk.
