The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will finish its August payments in Delaware, worth up to $1,691, in two weeks.

The First State's food stamps program has one of the longest windows for issuing payments in the United States — benefits are issued for over three-quarters of the month. The first letter of a recipient's last name determines when they will receive their benefits.

Distribution of SNAP payments begins on the second day of each month in Delaware. The size of the payment depends on the household size of each recipient. Single-person households receive $281, while eight-member households receive $1,691, according to Delaware.gov. In households larger than eight, $211 is added for each additional person.

A household's gross monthly income cannot exceed 200% of the federal poverty level to qualify for payments. For reference, a single-person 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 who live with their parents must apply with them.

Like most other states, 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 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. Recipients can check the amount on their EBT cards by checking their last grocery receipt.

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