🎤IMPORTANT ILLINOIS WIC FORMULA UPDATE🎤
Beginning February 1, 2026, Illinois WIC is transitioning from Enfamil products to Similac products.
Things to Know:
• If you currently have Enfamil benefits assigned and issued, you can still redeem those until the expiration date of those benefits.
• This is a gradual transition, changes from Enfamil to Similac will happen at your next appointment after 02/01/2026, with the transition completed by May, 2026.
• Formula benefits issued after 02/01/2026 will be for Similac products.
• WIC staff are happy to help you through this transition, including helping you to plan out how to make the switch.
• We encourage you to talk to your baby's health care provider in advance of your next WIC appointment about formula choices.
• Current medically prescribed formulas will NOT be impacted.
• If your baby is on Enfamil AR or Enfamil Reguline, please talk to your WIC staff about how to continue to get these formulas from a durable medical equipment company (DME provider).
