FWIW, government jobs are tightening their belts.
Diapers are not covered under WIC. It is a nutritional program and covers only food items.
They are different in that with WIC you receive vouchers for certain items (formula, milk, eggs, juice, peanut butter, cereal etc) based on the criteria you qualify under (what one receives would be different for a pregnant/breast feeding woman, an infant and a child).
Food stamp is more like cash (or at this point debit), the person decides what food items to spend it on.
A person who qualifies for both would use their WIC vouchers to get the items that it covers. Use food stamps to get food items not covered under WIC and then you cash for additional food they need and non food items.
The limits on food stamps are so low it is almost impossible to actually eat completely on them alone. Most people also have to purchase food.

I find it absolutely appalling that there are so many people who have no clue how the *system* works, or what it's actually for, that begrudge said *system* and those who need it.
I happen to work with a number of families who are on one or both of these programs....out of all of them, I can't think of one who doesn't *work* for his/her benefits.
i said it was like cash..and about technicalities, whew, for a second there i thought we were going to revisit the comparison of this dept of health and human service to where my subsidies come from, that only department name is what separates them or something....i
