When you go to the check-out line, tell the cashier that you
will be using WIC checks. After the cashier rings up the foods,
he or she will write the total of your purchase in space 5.
Make sure that the cashier has written the correct amount
on the check. The check is good only for the actual cost of
the foods you buy. You will not get any change back, and you
will not have to pay anything.

After the cashier has written the correct dollar amount in
space 5, sign your name in space 6 while the cashier watches.
Do not sign in this space before you go to the store. Do not
let anyone else use your WIC checks without permission from
the local WIC office. Be sure to take your WIC ID card with
you when you go to the grocery store. The cashier will not
accept your WIC checks without a valid WIC ID card.
