The National WIC Association (NWA) strongly opposes a proposed U.S. Department of Agriculture rule that would eliminate broad-based categorical eligibility (BBCE) in SNAP, creating additional barriers to WIC access. According to USDA estimates, approximately 22,000 WIC participants could lose streamlined eligibility, with 5,500 losing eligibility altogether. NWA urges the Administration to withdraw the proposal and protect families’ access to critical nutrition assistance and support services.
