WIC 200-19 SECTION: Certification
SUBJECT: Priority Assignment
Federal Regulations: §246.7(e)(4); 246.7 (e)(1)(iii) & (iv) POLICY Participants certified for possible regression shall be assigned the same priority level to which they were previously assigned. High-risk postpartum women shall be assigned Priority IV. Both the mother and infant of a breastfeeding dyad shall be assigned the higher priority for which either qualifies. CT-WIC automatically assigns priority based on entered data and selected risk criteria. The Competent Professional Authority (CPA) should carefully review the CT-WIC Nutrition Risk Screen, to ensure that it is complete and accurate before saving the screen.
