Ans) 31) Failure to thrive is usually diagnosed by a healthcare provider. Babies are weighed and measured by a healthcare provider during routine checkups. The provider will give your child a physical exam. It will include checking the baby's growth, development, and functioning.

32)INCOME ELIGIBILITY. The WIC income verification process is, in general, less burdensome than the income verification processes of other public assistance programs, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and food stamps. Standards for income documentation varied quite a bit across states.
