Responsibilities of Recipients
The usual responsibilities of a WIC recipient are:
- Being responsible for the WIC check/voucher and the recipient's WIC identification card. In many cases, a WIC check/voucher cannot be replaced if the check is damaged or lost.
- Using the WIC check/voucher within the specified date range.
- Selecting only the specified items on the check/voucher. The items also must be WIC-allowed items. For instance, a WIC check/voucher holder purchasing a gallon of milk may be asked to select the lowest cost product (usually store brand and not the premium brand) and must get a gallon container, not two half-gallon containers. In the case of a check stating "Two Quarts {2%, 1%...}," however, one can get a half gallon container instead of two quart-sized containers. This varies from state to state.
- Must not exceed a certain sale amount (this is not used for all WIC checks/vouchers, depending on local/state regulations).
- Being courteous with retail personnel during a WIC transaction.

Famous quotes containing the words responsibilities of and/or recipients:
“Most fathers will admit that having children does not change perceptibly the way they are treated or perceived in the workplace, even if their wives work. Everyone at his workplace assumes that she will take on the responsibilities of the children and the home, even if she too is in the office all day.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“The proclamation and repetition of first principles is a constant feature of life in our democracy. Active adherence to these principles, however, has always been considered un-American. We recipients of the boon of liberty have always been ready, when faced with discomfort, to discard any and all first principles of liberty, and, further, to indict those who do not freely join with us in happily arrogating those principles.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
