This acts like a debit card where at checkout you hand the cashier your Guam WIC EBT card and they will swipe it through their POS system. From there the system will deduct the amount from your current WIC balance.

It is planned that all states move to the eWIC system by 2020. If you would like to find out more about this in your state, please contact the Guam Department of Public Health & Social Services.
