Illinois to boost WIC program with $18 million rebate plan
A state plan will add 18 million dollars yearly to nutrition aid for pregnant women and children through a baby formula rebate program. Beginning Feb 1, Illinois will receive over 1 dollar per can from Mead Johnson and Ross Laboratories formulas, which supply 97 percent of local baby formula. The funds, plus grants totaling over 4 million, aim to extend WIC coverage, reach more mothers, and bolster infant mortality reduction efforts, with 36,000 more people to be served annually.
