Title: ●Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC): WIC Online Ordering and Transactions 
Abstract:

This rule addresses key regulatory barriers to online ordering in the WIC Program by making changes to the provisions that prevent online transactions and types of online capable stores from participating in the Program. This rule will also allow FNS to modernize WIC vendor regulations that do not reflect current technology and facilitate the Program’s transition to EBT.
