Can I get hold of WIC if I enjoy a money story?

My husband and I have approx $5000 split between a savings account and a disc. We have recently had some opportune expenses, though, and have been putting between $400 and $700 on our credit card every month. We pay it past its sell-by date at the end of the month, but it's leaving me with smaller amount and less to pay for food, which is requireing me to put more $$ on our credit card to pay for food. I am currently 22 weeks pregnant, and enjoy two children, one under 5 (which is know is the cutoff age for WIC in CA and I live in SoCal). Does anyone know if they would deny an application for WIC base on our savings account? We've been trying to release up money to move out of California for various reasons and that is what that money is for, although I enjoy used it a couple of times, now, to try to make ends meet. The final time I did that, though, the credit card went up to $700 due to an unplanned expense on the car. This next month, I own $300 to pay for groceries, and I don't know any way I can feed a kith and kin of 4 in SoCal healthy food for a month on that much money, so I'll have to dip into the stash account again.

Please don't tell me to call the local WIC department. I want to have any and all facts that I can get back discussing this with my DH or calling the WIC office. Thanks!
As far as I'm aware, they simply go by your gross income. I was never asked if I had any checking or reserves accounts.
well wic dont look at your bills which is the bleak thing. But they dont look at your bank account or nest egg either good thing. What they do look at is your clear stubs if you meet the guidelines for your family size they give it to you.

when you turn to wic they will ask for proof of pregnancy, a proof of residency, and a proof of income
no they don't ask for bank account information,they only ask for income,i don't know if it would change there since i live in Florida
Im to a certain extent certian, but not 100 percent sure that its based solely on the hosehold monthly income. You dont have to call the local wic offce, you can look them up. they own the min amount you can posted.
Hunny, I know you don't want to hear it but I would call the WIC office and explain your situation. I know my local WIC office have a spread sheet saying the monthly income. Maybe you can call, or drop in to see if they hold one.

I was never asked about bank accounts when I signed up.
Ugh... Can you not get a different job or work a second job? What in the order of moving elsewhere? American families manage on small incomes all the time. Besides, that's what reserves are for!
Answers:    Its based stale income. They constantly want to see pay stubs even though they dont change to see if you still qualify.
I am on WIC and they have never asked to see any guard statements of mine. I don't think they are really concerned with hoe much money you make.
i am in the military and I get wic.I have three accounts.two checkings and one stash for my extras.I know that you dont want to hear call the wic office but they only can comfort u in ur situation.u cant base other's situations off of yours.You will take WIC
WIC is not based on income or assets. Yes you will get it.
