NextImg:Food stamps: Direct August payments worth up to $1,691 to begin in Delaware tomorrow

Delaware's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin issuing its August payments, worth up to $1,691, on Wednesday.

The First State is unique, sporting one of the longest windows for issuing benefits in the United States, taking up over three-quarters of the month. The first letter of a recipient's last name determines on which of the 22 days their payment will be received. The next cycle of payments will begin Wednesday.

SNAP payments begin distribution on the second day of each month in Delaware. The size of the payment depends on recipients' household size. Single households receive $281, while eight-member households receive $1,691, according to Delaware.gov. For exceptionally large households, $211 can be added for each additional person.

A household's gross monthly income cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty level to qualify for payments. A single household cannot make more than $2,266 monthly, while an eight-person household cannot make more than $7,772.

People 21 years old and younger must apply with their parents.

Like most other states, Delaware SNAP payments are loaded onto an EBT card automatically. The card can be used like a credit card, but only for food and nonalcoholic drinks. The funds cannot be used on alcohol or other luxuries.

The funds delivered each month will hold over into the next. The funds remain on the card without expiring as long as the card remains in regular use.

SNAP is active across all states and Washington, D.C., with some differences between each area.
