Temporary Formula Options for South Dakota WIC Participants – Effective May 1, 2023
Effective May 1, 2023
SD WIC is no longer able to allow alternatives to the standard Similac formulas. One formula will be issued to the eWIC card at a time going forward.
Similac for Spit-Up PWD is no longer produced by Abbott or issued by South Dakota WIC as of March 1, 2023. If you were previously issued Similac for Spit-Up PWD on your SD WIC benefits and your Medical Documentation Form from your physician for Enfamil A.R. has been submitted to your local WIC office and approved, you can now purchase:
- Enfamil A.R. 12.9oz can
If your SD WIC benefits are for Similac Advance PWD you can purchase this formula:
- Similac Advance 12.4oz can
If your SD WIC benefits are for Similac Total Comfort PWD you can purchase this formula:
- Similac Total Comfort 12.6oz can
If your SD WIC benefits are for Similac Sensitive PWD you can purchase this formula:
- Similac Sensitive 12.5oz can
If your SD WIC benefits are for Similac Soy Isomil PWD you can purchase this formula:
- Similac Soy Isomil 12.4oz can
Talk with your WIC health professional to replace Similac Alimentum, Elecare, and NeoSure as these formula changes will require a WIC Medical Documentation Form from the infant’s doctor. Several options that were added throughout the formula shortage will be removed as of July 1st. Those that will continue to be available after July 1st are listed here. Please ensure you have a Medical Documentation Form for a South Dakota WIC Approved Formula based on your or your child’s specific medical needs.
If you are having difficulty finding formula options for the Similac product on your eWIC Card, contact your local WIC office
