A change in tactics, and an upgrade in technology should get money into the hands of the poor sooner as well as allow state workers to focus on families rather than paperwork.

Nebraska State Public Health Deputy Director Judy Martin says the new WIC Journey drastically cuts red tape

Governor Pete Ricketts says the new WIC Journey program cuts red tape to more quickly meet the needs of those in the program

A 3-point-4 Million dollar grant from the USDA funded the upgrades.

WIC stands for Women, Infants, and Children, and provides food aid.
