- rule
- Resolve to the first national total-participation value published by USDA FNS for July 2026 in the WIC monthly data table, converting the official count in thousands to millions by multiplying by 0.001. Use the first published value even if FNS later revises it; round the converted result to three decimal places. The registered expected release window is October 14-22, 2026, with October 22 as the resolution date.
