From the Paper:

"WIC is not an entitlement program; that is, congress does not set aside funds to allow every eligible individual to participate in the program. Instead, WIC is a Federal Grant program for which Congress authorizes a specific amount of funding each year for program operations. The Food and Nutrition Services, which administers the program at the Federal level, provides these funds to WIC State agencies (State health departments or comparable agencies) to pay for WIC foods, nutrition counseling and education, and administrative costs."
