Extending WIC for New Moms Act

This bill extends eligibility for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to new mothers for up to two years after giving birth, instead of the current six-month limit. It also adjusts the breastfeeding requirement to allow continued participation for 24 months rather than one year, helping families receive nutritional support during a longer postpartum period. The legislation requires the Secretary of Agriculture to submit a report to Congress within two years evaluating how these changes affect maternal and infant health, breastfeeding rates, and family experiences. Directly affected individuals include new mothers and their infants who currently lose access to WIC benefits before the end of their first year postpartum.
