PolicyLab responded to a request for comment from the Pennsylvania Bureau of WIC on the 2026 WIC State Plan of Program Operation and Administration.

In their response, PolicyLab experts offered recommendations to help increase uptake rates in Pennsylvania’s WIC program and to lower service barriers including: connecting families receiving short-term supports from the 1115 waiver to long-term supports via WIC, modernizing the WIC user experience, reducing administrative burden and preserving the dignity of WIC participants.
