Final answer:
Clients no longer eligible for WIC are typically notified through a notice of ineligibility and include women past one year postpartum and children over five. The timeframe for this notification varies by state and is meant to be prompt.
Step-by-step explanation:
When a client is no longer eligible for the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program, they would be notified typically through a notice of ineligibility. The notification process and timeframe for informing clients can vary by state, as WIC is administered at the state level.
However, local WIC agencies should provide notice to clients as soon as they determine that the client is no longer eligible for WIC benefits.
Clients who should receive these notifications are women who are no longer pregnant, beyond one year postpartum, or whose children have reached the age of five; as well as any other individuals who no longer meet the income eligibility guidelines or are no longer determined to be at nutritional risk.
While the specific number of days' notice a client is to be given is not federally mandated, it is generally expected that clients receive prompt notification to allow them time to make alternative arrangements for their nutritional needs.
