A report from nonprofit advocacy group Food Research & Action Center found Missouri's participation in the WIC federal benefits program for low-income women and children dropped sharply during the pandemic.
Between February 2022 and February 2020, participation in WIC fell by nearly a fifth in the Show-Me State.
Officials with the state Department of Health and Senior Services say they're transitioning to a less-burdensome system. However, it's expected to take another four years to complete.

There was so much "free money" floating around, it was hard to keep up with how to get all of it. If people actually NEEDED the money, they would have found a way to get it. This proves that we are handing out so much money, it is no longer appreciated.......nor needed as bad as some would have us believe. So many people and organizations depend upon there being "poor people", they work hard trying to talk people into signing up and receiving aid. It is no longer a safety net. It is a soft, comfy hammock.
