Extending WIC for New Moms Act

This bill extends WIC program eligibility for new mothers from 6 months to 24 months after childbirth, directly affecting new mothers who currently lose benefits after six months. It also extends the breastfeeding support period from 1 year to 24 months under the same law. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture to submit a report within two years evaluating health outcomes, breastfeeding rates, and family experiences resulting from these changes. These amendments to Sections 17(b)(10) and 17(d)(3)(A)(ii) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 are the key policy changes.
