Remote access to WIC benefits could keep more children enrolled

Original: Allowing remote access to WIC nutrition, health benefits could keep more children enrolled

Researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health say allowing families to access WIC nutrition and health benefits remotely could help keep more children enrolled in the program. The finding suggests that reducing the need for in-person visits would help families stay connected to benefits they qualify for, supporting child nutrition and health at a time when enrollment drops off as children get older.

Why now: New Harvard research suggests a simple policy change to remote access could reduce child attrition from WIC.
