The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin its September payments in Delaware, worth up to $1,691, in two days.
The size of the SNAP payment in the First State depends on the household size of each recipient. Single-person households receive $281, and eight-member households receive $1,691, according to Delaware.gov. In households larger than eight, $211 is added for each additional person.Distribution of SNAP payments begins on the second day of each month in Delaware.
A household's gross monthly income cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty level to qualify for SNAP payments. A single-person household cannot make more than $2,266 monthly, and an eight-person household cannot make more than $7,772.Created through the 1964 Food Stamp Act as one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society programs, SNAP aims to improve the nutrition of impoverished people by supplementing their food income.
Delaware SNAP payments are loaded onto a Delaware Food First card, which functions as an electronic benefit transfer card automatically. The card can be used like a credit card, but it is only for food and nonalcoholic drinks — the funds cannot be used on alcohol or other luxuries.The funds received each month remain on the card without expiring as long as the card remains in regular use. Recipients can check the amount on their EBT cards by checking their last grocery receipt.
