    I think it depends on who is the primary applicant on WIC. If it is you, then no problem because you are US citizen.

    My Timeline:

    5/15: Filed I140/I485/I765/I131 concurrent (Employment Based) for myself and spouse
    5/18: Received at USCIS Texas lockbox
    6/1: Reject notices received for all, except I-140, due to missing I-944
    6/4: Re-filed and received I485/I765/I131/I944 at USCIS lockbox
    6/25: Received NOA receipts
    7/25: Received ASC biometric appointment notices for myself and my wife, scheduled for 8/03
    8/3: Biometrics completed
    8/4: Case status updated to "Finger prints applied"

      Agree with mk2245. The public benefits question on Form I-944 only ask about the beneficiary's public benefits, so your husband's. If there is no benefit in his name, he should be fine. Similarly, debts questions in form I-944 only ask about beneficiary's debts. On the other hand, the assets questions ask about everyone in the household.

        If it’s the same as food stamps, then it depends on if adding your husband would increase the amount you receive every month.
