Nondiscrimination Statement (NDS) Requirements

There are two version of the Nondiscrimination statement – a long (full) version, and a short (single statement) version: This institution is an equal opportunity provider. The NDS is required on any WIC-specific public notifications or outreach, websites, and any documents "vital" to an applicant's/participant's eligibility for, or participation in, WIC.

    Long Version:
  • Website Home Pages - may be provided via a "USDA Nondiscrimination Statement" link.
  • Vital documents - the font size must match the font of the majority of the text on the document (it may work best in some cases to provide the long NDS on the back of the document).

Short version: Public notifications/outreach.

Public Notification Requirements

WIC is required to actively notify applicants, participants, and anyone coming to WIC, of the availability of free interpreter services and that accommodations will be made for anyone with a disability, upon request.

WIC Agencies are required to display the Interpreter poster and the And Justice for All poster.

Interpreter and And Justice for All Posters

Both of these posters can be ordered using the WIC Agency Materials Order Form (search for: "interpreter" and "and justice for all").

10/14/22 - NOTE: The And Justice for All poster is being updated with the May 2022 version of the Nondiscrimination Statement. Information about the revised poster's availability will be provided in the Weekly Update. Continue to display your current version until you are able to order and receive the new poster.
